Sign welcoming you to Ventura, California. Ventura is a rare case of a city having two names. Its official name, according to the city itself, is San Buenaventura. The Post Office thought that was too long, so shortened it to Ventura, which was then adopted by the federal government. The sign tries to have it both ways.
