Thousand Oaks was originally a stop along the stagecoach route between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.  In 1876 the Stagecoach Inn was built and is now a nationally recognized historic landmark.  The city was incorporated in 1964 and was a planned community with very few problems with traffic or pollution.
