In 1887, the first post office was established in Saticoy and in 1900, the first schoolhouse was built. The town continued to grow slowly but steadily throughout the 20th century as agriculture became an increasingly important part of the local economy. Today, Saticoy is a vibrant community with a strong sense of history and tradition.
