History
The area was first settled by the Chumash Indians, and later by Spanish Franciscan missionaries. The community of Agoura was first known as Picture City. In order for the town to get its own post office, the residents were required to choose a one-word name, so in 1927 they chose a misspelling of the last name of Pierre Agoure, a local Basque rancher from the 1890's. Housing tracts quickly covered the land in the late 1960's. On 8 December 1982, most of the city split off from the unincorporated town of Agoura and became the city of Agoura Hills.
