Editing Conejo Valley (section)

===Ranching===
Harold and Edwin Janss purchased ten thousand acres (40&nbsp;km²) of land of what is now central Thousand Oaks from the heir of John Edwards, who had purchased the land from the de la Guerra heirs (all of the land was originally a portion of the [[Rancho El Conejo]] land grant) in 1910. A ranch, named the [[Janss Conejo Ranch]], was utilized as a farm and to raise thoroughbred horses with the Santa Susanna Mountains and Simi Hills framing it. Television Westerns such as ''[[The Rifleman]]'', ''[[Gunsmoke]]'', and ''[[Bonanza]]'' were filmed in Janss Conejo between the 1950s and 1960s. It was also used as the filming locations for Disney's ''[[Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier]]'' and ''[[Westward Ho, the Wagons!]]'' both starring [[Fess Parker]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}
