Tract O

Tract O is the old town grid of First, Second and Third streets between Moorpark Avenue and Bard Street, just south of the railroad. John M. Cornett recorded the map in January 1915 and laid out 50-foot-wide lots beside the depot. County records date many of the surviving houses to the 1910s through the 1940s.

Mostly documented: the name and location are confirmed; some details rest on a single source.

About

About Tract O

These are among the oldest homes south of the tracks. Most are small houses of about 700 to 1,800 square feet on lots near 7,500 square feet, and newer houses have filled some gaps. The same map divided the land to the south and east into acre blocks, and parts of them later became the Flory Tract and Tract 5181. High Street, the station and Walnut Acres Park on Second Street are a short walk away.

Downtown Moorpark, Moorpark

Downtown Moorpark is the city's original town center. It runs from Charles Street and the High Street rail station south across Los Angeles Avenue to the Arroyo Simi. The townsite was mapped beside the railroad in 1900, and the area filled in over the next century, from early cottages and 1950s tract streets to condo complexes and small-lot communities built since 2000.
