In August 1795, Spanish missionaries referred to the area as the Valley of Simi. The first post office was Simiopolis, a name used in promotional material for a planned development in the late 1880s. The post office name was changed to Simi a few months later. In 1969, the city was created and its name became simi valley, which won more votes than the name Santa Susanna.
