[[Germany|German]] native [[John Meiners]] had immigrated to America in 1848 and established a successful [[beer|brewing]] operation in [[Milwaukee]]. In the 1870s, he acquired the land that would become Meiners Oaks as payment for a debt. When a friend and business associate, [[Edward D. Holton]], travelled through California and investigated the land, Meiners learned that he had acquired one of the largest [[coast live oak|oak]] groves on flat ground in southern California. Upon arriving in person, Meiners also found the climate agreeable, and established a ranch. Several hundred acres, north of the oak grove, were used quite successfully to grow lemons, oranges, plums, apricots and apples, as well as oats, wheat, barley and more. Meiners lived on his ranch intermittently until his death in 1898.<ref>{{cite web|title=Meiners Oaks |first=Ed |last=Wenig|work= Ojai History|url=http://ojaihistory.com/meiners-oaks/|accessdateaccess-date= 7 August 2015}}</ref>
