Newbury Park Post Office

[7] Egbert Starr Newbury and his wife Frances put the tent few feet from their home, providing local ranchers and their families with a site to pick up and drop off mail.

[8] Egbert Starr Newbury moved with his wife and child from Santa Barbara to the Conejo Valley in 1874, where he built his home at the present day site of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.

For ten years it was located in the eastern end of the Conejo Valley, in the homes of various ranchers, however still called the Newbury Park Post Office.

An agreement was reached on June 21, 1893, and the chosen location for the combined post offices was on Richard Orville Hunt's Salto Ranch, near the present-day Lynn Road and Hillcrest Drive.

After 17 years on the Hunt Ranch near present-day The Oaks mall, it was moved in 1908 to a shop owned by William Knowlton located near Conejo Hotel on Newbury Road.
