Nearly three decades ago, after years of stalled negotiations, California State University purchased 200 acres of farmland near Camarillo with the vision of building a campus there. It was seen at the time as the culmination of a long and fitful effort to establish a four-year public university in Ventura County. It wasn't long, however, before that plan was abandoned, as the opportunity arose to instead establish the campus at the site of the former Camarillo State Hospital. The university sold the land and used the proceeds to help fund the conversion of the hospital grounds, the site today of CSU Channel Islands.
