Incorporated June 4th, 1900

For more than a century, Ojai Oil Company has remained a stable, closely held enterprise guided by a conservative approach to growth and stewardship.

The company began in the early 1900s with crude oil production in Ojai, California. Over the decades it expanded its business activities while maintaining a disciplined investment philosophy, allowing it to remain resilient through shifting markets and economic cycles for well over a hundred years.

Today, the company is primarily engaged in the investment, ownership, and management of self-storage facilities. This line of business reflects a long-term strategy of selecting durable assets that generate consistent performance and provide lasting value.

Ownership concentrated among families and long-term partners ensures that Ojai Oil Company continues to operate with the focus and accountability of a family business, carrying forward a legacy of stability and stewardship across generations.
