Camrosa or Santa Rosa area

A rural region northeast of Camarillo, California may be referred to as "Santa Rosa" or "Camrosa". Camrosa is believed to be a contraction of Camarillo and Santa Rosa. The area includes just over a five mile (8 km) distance along Santa Rosa Road from the city limit east to Moorpark Road. The area is unincorporated as of 2007. Wired telephone service to the area appears to come from the Camarillo telephone exchange. [Santa Rosa Road is misidentified as "Camarillo Road" on the 1967 edition of the USGS "Newbury Park, California 7.5-minute quadrangle" (map). Regulatory filings show addresses along this street on Santa Rosa Road. ] Geographic features supporting these names include:

* Santa Rosa Valley, USGS feature ID 249122. [US Geological Survey, National Geographic Names Database, 1998.]
* Camrosa County Water District, 7385 Santa Rosa Road. [Foust, Charlotte, "Water User Organization Roster - Mid-Pacific Region," US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, 08/16/2006.]
