Geography
The San Fernando Valley is about 260 square miles (670 km 2 ) bounded by the Santa Susana Mountains to the northwest, the Simi Hills to the west, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Chalk Hill to the south, the Verdugo Mountains to the east, and The San Gabriel Mountains to the northeast. The northern Sierra Pelona mountains, the northwestern Upatopa Mountains, the Southern Santa Ana Mountains and the skyscrapers of Los Angeles can be seen from the higher neighborhoods, trails and parks of the San Fernando Valley.
The Los Angeles River starts at Calabasas Creek ( Arroyo Calabasas) and Bell Creek ( EscorpiÃÆ'³n Creek ), between Canoga Park High School and Owensmouth Ave. (Just north of Vanowen Street) in Canoga Park. The upstream area of ​​the river is in the foothills of Santa Monica Calabasas, Hillside Hidden Hills, Field Laboratory of Santa Susana, and Santa Susana Pass Park. River flows eastward along the southern part of the Valley. One of the two unpaved parts of the river can be found in the Sepulveda Basin. The seasonal river, Tujunga Wash, runs most of the west facing the San Gabriel Mountains and enters to and then through the Hansen Dam Recreation Center on Lake View Terrace. It flows south along the Verdugo Mountains through the eastern community of the valley to join the Los Angeles River in Studio City. Other well-known rivers of this river include the Dayton River, Caballero Creek, Bull Creek, Pacoima Wash, and Verdugo Wash. The height of the valley floor varies from about 600 feet (180 m) to 1,200 feet (370 m) above sea level.
Most of the San Fernando Valley is within the jurisdiction of Los Angeles, though several other cities are also located within the valley: Burbank and Glendale are in the southeast corner of the valley, the Hidden Hills and Calabasas are in the southwest corner, and San Fernando, right surrounded by Los Angeles, in the northeast valley. Universal City, a pocket in the southern part of the valley, is an unrelated land that houses films and Universal Studios theme parks. Mulholland Drive, which runs along the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains, marks the boundary between the valley and the Hollywood community and the Los Angeles Westside.

Habitat
The valley's natural habitat is the "temperate pastures, savannahs, and bushes" of grasslands, savanna oak, and the chaparral tree species of plant community habitat, along with riparian plants lush along rivers, creeks and springs. In this Mediterranean climate, European agriculture post 1790s for mission support consists of grapes, figs, olives, and common garden plants.
Governance and political representation
The San Fernando Valley contains five merged cities - Glendale, Burbank, San Fernando, Hidden Hills, and Calabasas - and the sixth part, Los Angeles, which controls most of the valley. Unrelated communities (Census-designated places) are governed by the County of Los Angeles.
Representation
Part of the city of Los Angeles valley is divided into seven districts of city council: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 12. Of the 95 neighborhood councils in town, 34 are in the valley. The valley is represented in California State Legislature by seven members of the State Assembly and five members of the State Senate. The valley is divided into three congressional districts. These are represented in Congress by senior figures, including Representatives Brad Sherman (D), Representative Ted Lieu (D), and Representative Tony Cardenas (D). At the Los Angeles County Supervisory Board, it is represented by two surveillance districts, with the western part represented by Sheila Kuehl and the east by Michael D. Antonovich, who lives in Glendale.

History
Pre-California country status
Tongva, later known as GabrieleÃÆ' Â ± o Indian mission after colonialism, and Tataviam in the north and Chumash to the west, has been living and developing in valleys and arroyonya for over 8,000 years. They had lots of settlements, and trade camps and hunting, before the Spaniards arrived in 1769 to settle in the Valley.
The first Spanish land grant in San Fernando Valley (or El Valle de Santa Catalina de Bononia de los Encinos) is called â € Å"Rancho Encinoâ € (Mission Hills currently in Camino Viejo before Newhall Pass), in the northern part of San Fernando Valley. Juan Francisco Reyes built an adobe living beside the Tongva village or rancheria in the natural springs, but the land was immediately taken away from him so that a mission could be built there. Mission San Fernando Rey de Espaà ± a was founded in 1797 as 17 of 21 missions. The land trade was given to Juan Francisco Reyes named Rancho Los Encinos, also beside the springs (Los Encinos State Historical Park in Encino at the moment). Then the Mexican land grants of Rancho El Escorpión (West Hills), Rancho Providencia and Rancho Cahuenga (Burbank), and Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando (the rest of the valley) cover the San Fernando Valley.
The Treaty of Cahuenga, ending the Mexican-American War Battle in Alta California, was signed in 1847 by Californios and America at Campo de Cahuenga, adobe Family of Verdugo at the entrance to Cahuenga Pass in southeast San Fernando Valley (North Hollywood). The 1848 Agreement Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the entire war.
California state status and beyond
In 1874, dry wheat farming was introduced by J. B. Lankershim and Isaac Van Nuys, who became very productive for their San Fernando Homestead Association which has the southern half of the valley. In 1876 they sent the first grain shipments from San Pedro Port and from the United States to Europe.
20th century
- Aqueduct
Through the decision of the late nineteenth-century court Los Angeles v. Pomeroy , Los Angeles has won the rights to all watersheds above the aquifer under the valley, without it being within the city limits. Farmers of San Fernando Valley offer to buy additional water channels, but federal laws allowing the construction of waterways prohibit Los Angeles from selling water outside the city limits. This induces several independent cities around Los Angeles to elect and approve annexations into the city so they can connect to the city's water system. This rural area became part of Los Angeles in 1915. Agricultural waterways migrated in the area from dried crops, such as wheat, to irrigated crops, such as corn, beans, pumpkins, and cotton; apricot orchard, persimmon, and walnut; and the main citrus orchards and lemons. They continue until the next upgrading of land conversion development, with postwar outskirts leaving only a few pockets, such as the "open museum" gardens at Orcutt Ranch Park and CSUN campus.
- Developments
In 1909, the Suburban Homes Company, a syndicate led by H. J. Whitley, general manager of the Board of Control, together with Harry Chandler, HG Otis, MH Sherman and OF Brandt purchased 48,000 hectares of Agriculture and Milling Company for $ 2,500,000. Henry E. Huntington, extends the Pacific Electric Railway (Red Car) through the Valley to Owensmouth (now the Canoga Park). The Suburban Home Company drew up plans for avenues and towns of Van Nuys, Reseda (Marian) and Canoga Park (Owensmouth). The rural areas were annexed to the city of Los Angeles in 1915. Laurel Canyon and Lankershim in 1923, Sunland in 1926, La Tuna Canyon in 1926, and the incorporated city of Tujunga in an eight-year process lasting from 1927 to 1935. annexation more than double the size of the city.
Six valley cities are united independently of Los Angeles: Glendale in 1906, Burbank and San Fernando in 1911, Hidden Hills in 1961, and Calabasas in 1991. Universal City remains an unrelated enclave area that is home to themed parks Universal Studios and Universal CityWalk later on. century. Another unrelated area in the valley is Bell Canyon.
The emergence of three new industries in the early 20th century - films, cars, and airplanes - also encouraged urbanization and population growth. World War II production and subsequent postwar explosions accelerated this growth so that between 1945 and 1960, the population of the valley doubled. Los Angeles continued to consolidate its territory in the San Fernando Valley by annexing the former Rancho El EscorpiÃÆ'³n to Canoga Park-West Hills in 1959, and the huge historic "Porter Ranch" at the foot of the Santa Susana Mountains for a new development planned at Porter Ranch in 1965. The addition expanded the Los Angeles section of San Fernando Valley from the original 169 square miles (438 km 2 ) to 224 square miles (580 km 2 ) today.
- Northridge Earthquake
The 1994 Northridge quake struck on January 17 and measured 6.7 on the magnitude of the Moment scale. This resulted in the largest land movement ever recorded in urban environments and was the first hypocenterized earthquake located directly beneath the US city since the Long Beach earthquake of 1933. This caused the greatest damage in the United States since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Although named "Northridge", the epicenter was located in the Reseda community, between Arminta and the Ingomar streets, west of Reseda Boulevard. The death toll was 57 and more than 1,500 people were seriously injured. A few days after the earthquake, 9,000 homes and businesses were still without electricity; 20,000 without gas; and over 48,500 have little or no water. Approximately 12,500 buildings were damaged moderately to severely damaged, which caused thousands of people to lose their temporary shelter. Of the 66,546 buildings examined, 6% were heavily damaged (marked red) and 17% were moderately damaged (marked yellow). In addition, the damage to several major highways serving Los Angeles strangled the traffic system in the days following the earthquake. Major road damage occurred 25 miles (40 km) from the epicenter. Collapsed and other severe damage forced the closing of parts of 11 main roads into downtown Los Angeles.
This is the second time in 23 years that the San Fernando Valley has been affected by a powerful earthquake. On February 9, 1971, a major event - 6.5 struck about 20 miles (32 km) northeast of the epicenter of the events of 1994. The 1971 earthquake caused 58 deaths and about 2,000 injured. At that time, the 1971 San Fernando earthquake was the most damaging event affecting greater Los Angeles since the 6.33 Long Beach earthquake of 1933.
21st century
- The contemporary era
In the late 1990s, the San Fernando Valley has become more urban and more ethnically diverse with increasing poverty and crime. In 2002, the valley tried to break away from the city of Los Angeles and became a city established to escape poverty, crime, Los Angeles gang activities, city damage, and poorly maintained infrastructure. Since the failed attempts at secession, a new Van Nuys town building was built in 2003; Orange Metro line opened in October 2005; 35 new public schools have opened in 2012, and the majority ethnic valley is now Hispanic, edging out White by 0.8%.
In 2017, many of the city's development projects begin in the valley, especially in the LA neighborhoods of North Hollywood, Panorama City, and Woodland Hills. These projects began with some of the first projects in Woodland Hills and NoHo West's project in North Hollywood began a breakthrough and construction on April 6, 2017.
Parks and recreation
The San Fernando Valley is home to many neighborhood city parks, recreation areas and large Open Space. Much of the preservation is maintained as a public park by the Recreation Area of ​​Santa Monica National Park Recreation Park, California City Park, and the local district as well as the city park district.

The industry's leading trade paper, AVN magazine, based in Northwest Valley, such as the majority of video and adult US magazine distributors. The film Paul Thomas Anderson, Boogie Nights explores aspects of this valley. According to the HBO series Pornucopia, at one time, nearly 90% of all legally distributed pornographic films made in the United States were filmed or produced by studios based in San Fernando Valley. The porn industry began to decline in the mid-2000s, because, in large part, with the growing amount of free content on the Internet that weakened the willingness of consumers to pay. In 2007, industry insiders estimated that revenue for most adult production and distribution companies had decreased by 30% to 50% and the number of new films made had fallen sharply.

Independence and Separation Valley
Movement of Independence
The valley tried to break away in the 1970s, but the state passed a law prohibiting the formation of the city without the approval of the City Council. In 1997, Assemblymen Bob Hertzberg and Tom McClintock helped pass a bill that would make it easier for the Valley to escape by vetoing the City Council. AB 62 was signed into law by Governor Pete Wilson. Meanwhile, the grassroots movement to split the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and create a new school district in San Fernando Valley became the focal point of the desire to leave the city. Although the state rejected the idea of ​​valley-based districts, it remained an important gathering point for the Hertzberg mayor's campaign, which proved unsuccessful.
- Measure F
In 2002, the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles again seriously campaigned to secede from the rest of the city and become a self-contained and self-incorporated new town. The movement gained momentum, as many San Fernando Valley residents within the city limits felt they were not receiving the city of Los Angeles service equivalent to the rest of the city and their tax contributions.
Before secession could come out for voting, the Local Agency Development Commission (LAFCO) studied the fiscal feasibility of the new city and decided that the new city should reduce the fiscal losses incurred by the rest of Los Angeles. LAFCO concluded that the new San Fernando Valley town would be financially feasible, but needed to ease $ 60.8 million that the rest of Los Angeles would lose revenue. The separatists consider this number as proof that the Valley gave more money to Los Angeles than to receive service. This sparked a petition push led by the VOTE Valley to separate from the ballots. The size of F (the proposed new SFV city) and H (New Hollywood City proposed, which in the same vote) not only decide whether the valley becomes a city, but voters must also choose a new name for it. The names proposed at the polls are San Fernando Valley, Rancho San Fernando, Mission Valley, Valley City, and Camelot. (There is already a separate San Fernando City in the San Fernando Valley, so that option is not available.) Along with Steps F and H, elections are held for fourteen board members and a mayor. "The Valley of the City" is the name chosen for the proposed SFV city.
The valley politicians like State Senator Richard AlarcÃÆ'³n and City Council President Alex Padilla oppose the initiative. The leader of the LAU split and former congressman and busing foe Bobbi Fiedler also campaigned against secession. Supporters point out that the Valley is suffering from many of the same problems of poverty, crime, drugs and gang activity as the rest of the city.
Measure F does not receive the sound required to pass to the Valley to escape. The proposal passed with little noise in the Valley, but was defeated by the rest of Los Angeles due to a massively funded campaign against it led by Los Angeles mayor James Hahn. Republican lawmaker Keith Richman of Northridge was elected mayor of the dead, who according to the poll results will be named San Fernando Valley. Richman and other activists behind the separation movement sought to redirect their civilian energy to influence the politics of the city of Los Angeles, but their efforts largely failed. 2005 campaign of the mayor Hertzberg, who received heavy support in the Valley, but finished in third place (only a few percentage points behind Mayor Wajib Hahn), and no supporters of secession were elected to positions in Los Angeles City Council.
Had the measure passed, the southern part of the city would remain the city of Los Angeles, with about 2.1 million people. The northern Valley section will create a new municipality of 211 square miles (546 km 2 ) with about 1.3 million inhabitants. If the separation has passed, the new City San Fernando Valley will be the seventh most populous city in the United States, after New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Also, it will be a new "twin city" metropolitan area like the twin cities of metropolitan areas, Minneapolis and St. Louis. Paul, Minnesota, or Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.
District update
NoHo Art District was established and the name was chosen as a reference for its location in North Hollywood and as a playground in New York City's SoHo District. According to the San Fernando Guide , the change helped to develop the "lower middle class urban... into a collection of art and houses for artists depicting their trade in galleries, theaters and dance studios in this small pavilion. "
According to Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council, from 2002 to November 2007 there was a debate about Lake Balboa's official recognition as a community by City of Los Angeles. The new community name was not approved by the city until January 2006, when the city adopted the official community naming process (City of Los Angeles Council File Number 02 -0196). On November 2, 2007, the Los Angeles City Council approved the movement of renaming most of Van Nuys to Lake Balboa.
Demographics
The inhabitants of the San Fernando Valley are predominantly Latino and White. In 2012 the population of San Fernando Valley is 1.77 million. Of the 41.0% population were non-Hispanic whites, 41.8% were Hispanic or Latino, 4.6% were African American and 12.7% were Asian. According to the 2010 US Census, the largest city located entirely in the valley is Glendale. The most populous Los Angeles districts of the Valley are North Hollywood and Van Nuys. Burbank and two named districts each have over 100,000 inhabitants. Glendale has over 196,000 inhabitants. Despite San Fernando Valley's reputation for extensive and low-density development, the communities of the Panorama City valley, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Reseda, Canoga Park and Northridge, all in Los Angeles, have many apartment complexes and contain some of the densest. census tract in Los Angeles.
Asian Americans make up 10% of the population and live throughout the valley, but mostly in the Chatsworth community in Los Angeles, Panorama City, North Hollywood, Reseda, Canoga Park, Northridge, Porter Ranch and Granada Hills. Unlike the San Gabriel Valley, whose Asian population is mostly Chinese, Asian Asians in San Fernando Valley are mostly Filipinos and Koreans with smaller concentrations of Thailand, Vietnam and India. In contrast to the San Gabriel Valley, the Asian-American population is much smaller in the San Fernando Valley. Another major ethnic element of the community is the Iranian community, with 200,000 people living mainly in the western San Fernando Valley communities such as Tarzana, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Encino, and Sherman Oaks. The valley is also home to a large Jewish community, with most of its inhabitants in the North Hollywood and Valley Villages. The African-Americans make up 3.8% of the population of the Valley, living mainly in parts of Los Angeles from Lake View Terrace, Pacoima, Reseda, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, and Northridge.
The San Fernando Valley has a significant population below the poverty level. About 30 percent of Valley households in 2009 earned less than $ 35,000 per year, including 10 percent that earned less than $ 15,000 per year. The Pacoima district, once considered the epicenter of suburban disease and of the highest poverty level, is no longer the case. Other San Fernando Valley environments such as North Hollywood, Panorama City, and Arleta now have higher levels of poverty.
In general, regions with lower poverty rates have become less and more scattered, while many of today's prosperous communities have become fragmented, have their own community, planned and protected. Many of these tend to be at or near the border of the Valley in the hilly terrain.
Property value
In August 2005, the average price of a single family home in San Fernando Valley reached $ 600,000. In 1997, only $ 155,000. In the summer of 2003, it reached $ 400,000 and in July 2005, it had reached $ 578,500. From July to August (one month) 2005, up $ 100,000. Cooling occurred in 2006, when between November 2005 and November 2006, the average price rose by the smallest amount of any 12-month period since mid-1997. Indeed, November prices were lower than October prices, and sales for November fell 19.1% compared to the previous year. The correction of the United States housing market affected San Fernando Valley in 2007-2009, making housing significantly more affordable in the region: the average selling price dropped from $ 660,000 at its peak in May 2007, to $ 500,000 in March 2008, steady in year 2009 at around $ 330,000- $ 340,000. San Fernando Valley is home to one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. The average home value per July 2014 is $ 536,000, the highest in the region in 8 years.
