Ranch after Ranch after Ranch

My friend from Ojai, Judy, spent the whole day driving me around her neighborhood.  We passed so many well-maintained farms and ranches and it just warmed my heart.  This is just one of them.  Did you notice the lantern?  There is a lot of Spanish influence in these parts because this land once belonged to Mexico.  Ojai's name used to be "Nordhoff".  Do some detective work and find out why it was changed.
