Saticoy is an unincorporated town and census-designated place (CDP) in Ventura County, California. The name comes from the Chumash village named Sa'aqtik'oy (Chumash language: "it is sheltered from the wind"). The commercial district known as Old Town Saticoy is surrounded by a stable residential neighborhood with a population of just over one thousand. South towards the Santa Clara River is a sizable industrial area located on both sides of State Route 118. The settlement was laid out in 1887 along the railroad line that was being built from Los Angeles through the Santa Clara River Valley on the east towards the town of San Buenaventura on the coast. Two historic buildings attest to the important role Saticoy once held in the local agricultural economy: Walnut Growers Association Warehouse, and Saticoy Bean Warehouse. The historic building that formerly housed the Farmers & Merchants Bank of Santa Paula, Saticoy Branch, stands at a quiet intersection that used to be at the center of a vibrant community.
