PIRU CITY - Piru is situated near the base of the Piru Mountains, where Piru Creek empties into the Santa Clara River, at the upper end of the Santa Clara Valley in the eastern section of Ventura County.
It was initially further up Piru Canyon, but the Southern Pacific Railroad refused to bring the train to that location, so Cook moved the town to the rail line.
PIRU REEDS - The name Piru was derived from the tule reeds that grew along the creek.
