The Chumash Enjoyed Agoura Hills for 10,000 Years
Based in Agoura Hills, California, Western Gold Insurance Agency Inc. has served the residents of California from this prosperous city in Los Angeles County for over 35 years. With a population of over 20,000, Agoura Hills is situated between Los Angeles to the east, west and south, and Ventura County on its northern edge.
The Native American Chumash tribe lived in Agoura Hills 10,000 years ago, and were content to do so until the 18th century, when Franciscan missionaries from Spain established missions up and down the coast of what would become the 31st state in the Union on September 9, 1850. Earlier, the 1600 and 1700’s, upper California Spanish missions became connected to missions from Sonoma to Loreto to Baja in Mexico via the King’s Highway, which became known as the El Camino Real, traversing the center of what would later become the city of Agoura Hills. Part of an original Spanish land grant, the natural spring of Ladyface Mountain made Agoura Hills a well-known stage stop on the Camino Real in the early 1900’s, leading to the nickname of Picture City in the 1920’s as Paramount Pictures created western silent films from its ranch there. However, the naming of Agoura Hills was a rather more mundane matter, as in order to establish a post office the local residents had to choose a one word name. They did so, misspelling the last name of Pierre Agoure, a French immigrant who ran a sheep ranch and had a colorful reputation among the natives.Western Gold Insurance Agency Inc is proud to service the residents of Agoura Hills today.

The deductibles on earthquake insurance can vary from 10% to 25% of existing structures insurance policy limits, and there may be separate deductibles for contents of structures, garages, sheds, driveways or retaining walls.
Earthquake coverage insurers have a number of criteria for offering the coverage, including the location of the home and property, whether or not the home is bolted to the foundation, the architecture and support of the interior walls of structures, legal braces and straps against tipping or overturning of appliances, limits on types of damage covered, exceptions or exclusions for damage from landslides, mudflows, foundation settling, and exceptions or exclusions of damage caused by floods and tidal waves as attendant results of earthquake events.
