History

These buildings still stand, and have come to serve as symbols of the city and the surrounding valley. He saw the valley and fell in love, thinking up many plans for expansion and beautification of the existing rustic town. The main turning point in the development of the city was the coming of Edward Drummond Libbey, early owner of the Libbey Glass Co. To thank Libbey for his gifts to the town, the citizens proposed a celebration to take place on March 2nd of each year. Libbey declined their offer to call it "Libbey Day," and instead suggested "Ojai Day." The celebration still takes place, each year in October.
