DYK About the History of Migrant Workers on the Oxnard Plain? 🌿
Oxnard, California, United States
Many immigrants from the east coast and Europe came west to find their fortune in farming. The temperate, often cool-aired climate in Oxnard makes it an ideal farming location in California to this day. In the 19th century, the main crops were barley and lima beans, but eventually the farmers moved into producing sugar beets. Oxnard soon became one of the largest sugar producers in the country and helped boost the town's economy and population. VISIT website to read more!
