The book explores Oxnard's rich history, from its origins with the Chumash Indians to its agricultural development by German and Irish immigrants in the 19th century. Highlighting the establishment of the world's largest sugar factory by Henry T. Oxnard and his investors, it also showcases the city's vibrant present, marked by its annual strawberry festival that draws crowds to honor its agricultural heritage.
