 Seats for Forklifts Oxnard - The city of Oxnard, that was incorporated in 1903, is currently the biggest city in Ventura County. It runs right along the pacific coastline and is 35 miles south of Santa Barbara and sixty miles northwest of Los Angeles.
The extremely fertile soil within the area is one of the most desirable things about Oxnard. The fertile soil together with the temperate weather condition gives a long harvest season, making the area of Oxnard extremely agriculturally rich. Farmers could normally get double, even triple, the amount of crops harvested on the same piece of land each and every year.
The economy of Oxnard was originally and almost exclusively based on agricultural and oil. Now, the economy has grown along with the city. It all began by farming sugar beets/beans and cattle grazing. Intensive farming followed shortly after. A strange twist was the shift from intensive farming to working in the defence industry. Nowadays, the city is concentrating on developing housing, commercial and industrial opportunities. Oxnard prides itself on keeping an even balance between honouring their agricultural background but still progressing further into the areas of technology and business.
Over the past 50 years, Oxnard city has gone through a population boom. Even if the new population has given a few difficulties to the local governments, it has likewise been a blessing as it created a boom of start-up business opportunities for young entrepreneurs.
The top companies within the city are in biotechnology, duplicating and packaging videocassettes, education, health insurance, mortgage lending, and telephone services and equipment. The governments (federal, local and state) even employ a large percent of the people. Because of its ideal location near Highway 101, the city is attracting a lot of high-technology industries. The Port of Hueneme, that sends, loads and unloads fruit and cars abroad, is very vital to the financial system. Port Hueneme and Port Mugu are likewise home to a large portion of the US Navy.
