Historically, the Chumash used this land for food, water and shelter. In the mid 1860’s Mathew Keller built a stone cottage here...

Rain is scarce, but when it does rain we have to watch out for the rock slides that can happen in our canyons and along PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). We have moderate seasons in Malibu. The...

Originally, the town was 27 miles long, but when they incorporated in March of 1991 we lost a few miles due to disagreements over sewers....
