He had written a book in 1872 extolling the health benefits of living in what is now known as the Ojai Valley. Apparently, his book was a big hit overseas to the point that many late 19th-century and early 20th-century Europeans migrated here based solely on his book's positive vibes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">All was going along smoothly in Nordhoff until World War I broke out. It was then that some local citizens, led by Edward Libbey, felt that Nordhoff sounded way too German. In 1917, at their insistence, the city's name was changed to Ojai, derived from the local Chumash Indian word <i>'Awha'y </i>meaning Moon.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Only the Junior and Senior High Schools and the city cemetery still retain the Nordhoff name.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ojai has a wonderful downtown park that holds concerts under the stars and has also hosted the famed Ojai Tennis Tournament since 1896.
