The Santa Clara River Valley (aka Heritage Valley) is a valley that runs from east to west through Ventura County and northwest Los Angeles County, California. It is named for the Santa Clara River, which winds through the valley before emptying into the Pacific Ocean between the cities of Ventura and Oxnard.
The valley is primarily a rural, agricultural region, but is also home to a collection of small towns, including Fillmore and Santa Paula.
