Agoura

Agoura is an unincorporated community in western Los Angeles County, California, in the Conejo Valley of the Santa Monica Mountains. It lies near the incorporated cities of Agoura Hills and Calabasas and is traversed by U.S. Route 101. The area has a rural-residential character with rolling hills, oak woodlands, and chaparral, and experiences a Mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters.

Historically, the area was inhabited by the Tongva people before Spanish and Mexican land grants were established in the 19th century. It developed as ranching and citrus farmland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, later becoming part of the broader suburban expansion of the western San Fernando Valley and Conejo Valley. In 1982 the neighboring community of Agoura Hills incorporated, and the Agoura area remains an unincorporated community within Los Angeles County.

The community is served by the Las Virgenes Unified School District, including Agoura High School in nearby Agoura Hills. Parks, trails, and equestrian facilities are common, with access to the Santa Monica Mountains and nearby Malibu Creek State Park. The local economy is primarily residential, with small businesses along Agoura Road and other corridors serving residents and visitors bound for the Conejo Valley and Malibu areas.
