The monastery falls within Maella municipal term, in what used to be known as Priorat de Santa Susanna de Maella , lang es Priorato de SantaSusana de Maella . The monastery passed through periods of splendor and decadence throughout its existence and is presently in ruins.

This monastery was transferred by James I of Aragon to the Cistercian Order in 1227. The Cistercians destroyed the former building to erect a new one.

The depot was constructed by the Southern Pacific Railroad and was opened in 1903. The depot was originally located on Los Angeles Avenue at Tapo Street and was part of the completion of the Coast Route see Coast Line UP Coast Line linking Los Angeles and San Francisco . Plans and construction for the building were based on the railroad s R 22 standard. The depot served the community of Rancho Simi as a passenger station, telegraph office and freight depot where farmers could deliver crops for shipping and pick up farming equipment delivered by the railroad. Due to lessening passenger traffic and changes in the shipment of freight, Southern Pacific closed the station in the early 1970s, leaving SantaSusana Depot empty and destined for demolition. The Ventura County, California County of Ventura purchased the depot from the railroad for 1.06. In May 1975 the building was divided into three parts and moved by truck to county property two miles east of the site it was built on.
