Historically, the community has also been known as Park View.[7] Los Ojos was founded in 1860, and a nearby colony, Park View, was established in 1876.[7] A post office was opened in Park View in 1877, but the colony and post office were soon abandoned.[7] The post office was reopened in 1880 in Los Ojos, but the post office kept its original name, Park View.[7] Los Ojos thus came to be referred to on maps as Park View, but in 1971, citizens petitioned to have the name officially changed back to Los Ojos, and the petition was granted in 1972.[7]
