The historic Simi Adobe-Strathearn House served as the headquarters of Rancho Simi, also known as Rancho San José de Nuestra Senora de Altagarcia y Simi, one of the land grants in Alta California by the Spanish government. The name derives from Shimiji, the name of the Chumash village here before the Spanish.[2]

Two rooms of original adobe remain, now located in Robert P. Strathearn Historical Park in Simi Valley, California, which have been designated a California Historical Landmark (#979)[3] and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
