Ventura Printing history
Ventura Printing company history timeline
Spain first colonized the area in 1769, and Mexico took control of California in 1822 after winning its independence from Spain.
California then became part of the United States following the Mexican-American War, which ended in 1848.
Ventura County officially formed on January 1, 1873, after separating from Santa Barbara county.
Development occurred pretty quickly as a courthouse, bank, wharf, and a public library opened in 1873.
The Union Oil Company started in Santa Paula in 1914.
The Shell Oil Company began large scale extraction operations in 1916, which remain to this day near Highway 33.
Kinko's Copies Corporation was founded in 1970 by Paul Orfalea, who gave the company the nickname given to him for his curly red hair.
1975: Kinko's opens its 24th branch.
1985: The first 24-hour Kinko's outlet opens in Chicago.
By mid-1987 almost one-third of Kinko's roughly 300 outlets were offering desktop publishing services.
A federal judge found the company guilty in 1991 and assessed $1.9 million in damages and court fees.
1992: Kinko's opens international branches in Japan and the Netherlands.
By mid-1994 almost all Kinko's outlets were open all the time.
In order to raise capital for this expanded growth and to keep outlets outfitted with the latest office technology, Orfalea took a radical step in 1996: selling a one-third stake in the company to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), a New York City-leveraged buyout firm, for $220 million.
In mid-1997, Orfalea was replaced as CEO by Joseph Hardin Jr., former president and chief executive of Wal-Mart's Sam's Club.
1999: Kinko's is selected by Fortune magazine as one of the 100 best companies to work for in America.
As of May 2001, Kinko's was still a privately held company, but things can change quickly, especially since dot.com IPOs have fallen out of favor with investors.
In 2018, California was the seventh-largest producer of crude oil in the United States, and oil has been part of the county’s fabric for a very long time.
Ventura city residents vote in November 2020 for a ballot measure legalizing cannabis businesses.
