History
The building is named for Andrew Jackson Cook, a merchant who acquired 190 acres (77 ha) of land in the South Orange County area after serving as a private in the CSA in Springfield, Missouri, making fortunes through raids, which helped the western expansion to California.

In May 2008, a small-scale landslide destroyed a large section of the famous outdoor patio. ABC 7 and NBC 4 were among some of the news teams that broadcast the event. Damages were somewhat minor, and the repairs took just a few days.[citation needed]
Mass shooting
On August 23, 2023, a shooting occurred at the bar in which 4 people were killed (including the gunman) and 6 wounded. It was reported that an ex-Ventura Police officer had traveled to the bar to kill his ex-wife. He would later open fire with shots being called in between 6:40 and 7 PM (PST). The shooter was believed to have shot his wife in the bar and one bystander on the patio along with two bystanders in the street near the intersection of Live Oak Canyon Road and El Toro - Santiago Canyon Road. It was estimated that over 50 first responder vehicles had reported to the scene. The suspect, 59-year-old John Snowling, a retired Ventura County law enforcement officer, was pronounced deceased after reportedly being shot in a silver Toyota Tundra pickup truck, after attempting to flee the scene.[5]
Cook's Corner re-opened on September 1, a little more than a week after the incident.[6]
