A Scenic Coastal Retreat...A World Apart... 

Malibu is nestled between Pacific Palisades, the lush, green Santa Monica Mountains and the white sandy beaches of the blue Pacific. The Native American Chumash Indians called it "Humaliwo" -the place where the surf sounds loud. 

The first legal claim to land in Malibu was in 1802 by a Spanish settler, Jose Bartoleme Tapia, who established a Rancho which was eventually sold to Frederick Hastings Ringe in 1891, for the reputed figure of $300,000! The Ringe private domain was guarded fiercely. After Ringe's death, his widow, May, fought Southern Pacific's effort to route the railroad through Malibu by building her own railway! Later, the state of California succeeded in obtaining a right of way to build the Pacific Coast Highway through her property in 1920. Overwhelming legal and construction expenses forced May to begin leasing, then selling, her property at Malibu Creek to movie stars. This became the Malibu Colony of today.  

The recently formed City of Malibu has inherited May Ringe's strength of spirit. Malibu remains a natural paradise only forty-five minutes from the major business districts of Los Angeles, with a city government that stands guard against over-development.  

If you are looking for good, safe schools, clean air, clean water and natural beauty, come to MALIBU...life is too short to live anywhere else!!!
