Moorpark California Information Moorpark is a city of 32,978 people, in Southern California. It was founded in 1887 by Robert Poindexter, presumably after the moorpark apricots that grew in the area. The city has experienced a great amount of growth since the late 1970s, but it still has a "Small-Town feel" to some residents. The origin of the name "Moorpark" is not known, but several sources have been suggested. However, most sources agree that its origin was Admiral Lord Anson's estate Moor Park in Hertfordshire where he introduced the apricot in 1688. It is mainly believed that the city of Moorpark is named after the Moorpark Apricot, which used to grow in the area. This was confirmed by Robert Poindexter, the founder of Moorpark, in 1927. One other theory of the name is that when the Southern Pacific Railroad was surveying the local land in the 1800s for its railway, someone in the party said that the area, with its sloping hills, looked like the Scottish Moors. Hence the name Moorpark. The city is divided by the Arroyo Simi river, and generally the area north of the river, containing Old Town Moorpark and Campus Park, is somewhat older than the area south of the river. "Old Town Moorpark" is the area surrounding High Street, and is the historic center of the city. A feature of the downtown area are the pepper trees that line High Street, planted by Robert Poindexter who was responsible for the plotting and mapping of the town.
