Malibu's first residents, the native American Chumash Indians, named the stretch of beach at the mouth of Malibu Creek "Humaliwo," or "the surf sounds loudly." In 1542, it is in Malibu that Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo may have stopped to get fresh water on his journey north.

From the late 1800's to 1938, Malibu was the exclusive property of a single wealthy family. When the beach was finally opened up to the public for the first time in 1929, it became a favorite for many movie stars - Pacific Coast Highway - the location of the Malibu Paradise Beach House - became known as the "Malibu Movie Colony."

A host of stars now make Malibu their home. "Colonyites" (as they call themselves) have included Tom Hanks, Linda Ronstadt, Larry Hagman , Jeff Bridges, Howie Mandell, Cicely Tyson, Bruce Dern, Mel Brooks,Tatum O'Neal, Rob Reiner, Sting, Bill Murray, Roma Downey & Rachel Ward, to name just a few who live either in the Colony or along adjacent Malibu Road.
