San Fernando Valley history segment from A Test of Integrity - The Story of William Mulholland and The St. Francis Dam.
A Pony Horton Film
The history of the San Fernando Valley from its exploration by the 1769 Portola expedition to the annexation of much of it by the City of Los Angeles in 1915 is a story of booms and busts, as cattle ranching, sheep ranching, large-scale wheat farming, and fruit orchards flourished and faded.Throughout its history, settlement in the San Fernando Valley was shaped by availability of reliable water supplies and by proximity to the major transportation routes through the surrounding mountains.

Baby Boomers Tribute "Get Together" 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So Cal
The San Fernando Valley is considered the child city of metropolitan Los Angeles; a child that gradually grew and matured. From the development of farming and agriculture to the subdividing of land and finally to the market boom in commercialization and industrialization, the Valley has taken on its own course in history thus invented its own acclamation. In fact, Charles A. Bearchell noted, "If the Valley were a separately incorporated city, it would rank among the top six cities in the nation." To understand the maturation of the Valley, one must note the population growth, specifically between the years 1910 to 1960, when the largest population increases were recorded in Valley history. Indeed, the population of the San Fernando Valley increasingly doubled or even tripled every decade from 1910 to 1960. This population growth is not the net result of a single factor. Three elements - access, development, and advertisement - between the years 1910 to 1960 created the perfect foundation for population growth in the San Fernando Valley.
In 1910, the San Fernando Valley population was at 3,300. A decade later the population grew to over 21,000. In 1930 the population figures were exact with meticulous census data. The April 1st 1930 census was 78,497. Subsequently between 1930 and 1945 a population increase of 159% was recorded bringing the population total at the end of World War II to 228,734 inhabitants. By 1950, the swift increase in growth continued when the April 1st census recorded over 402,538 residents; likewise in growth when the April 1st census of 1960 doubled again with a staggering populace of 840,531 inhabiting the San Fernando Valley. It was only until the early 1970s which the population did not double nor triple itself, but only grew by about 100,000. This slower growth may be correlated to the 6.6 magnitude 1971 Sylmar earthquake, among others, as Kevin Roderick of the Los Angeles Times noted in his text, America's Suburb, "The San Fernando Valley serves, in fact, as the nation's favorite symbol of suburbia run rampant. It is the butt of jokes for its profligate sprawl, kooky architecture, unhip telephone area code, and home grown porno industry, as well as for a mythical tribe of nasal-toned, IQ challenged teenage girls who like to shop." However, the ill portrayed description of the recent San Fernando Valley by Kevin Roderick was not valid prior to the 1970s; hence the decades between 1910 leading up to the 1960s was an extremely pivotal period with respect to the vast population growth heightening the foundation of the Valley. Conclusively, the three key elements - access, development, and advertising - contributed simultaneously with each other (at one point or another) triggering an influx in population growth for the Valley.
The first fundamental theme in the immense growth of the San Fernando Valley is the means of access throughout the land. Access is both the physical means of entering and exiting the area via roads, highways and railways, and the accessibility of resources (water) to its inhabitants. To understand how highways, railways, and water escalated access throughout the land from the turn of the century up to the 1960s, one must examine the physical aspects of the land. Access to the San Fernando Valley is grouped into three noteworthy pass areas. The San Fernando Pass (also known as the Newhall Pass) at the northern tip of the Valley on the east side, the Santa Susana Pass at the northeastern portion of the Valley, and the strategically accessible southern artery to Los Angeles, the famous Cahuenga Pass.

"The Last Train To San Fernando" - The Event, The Song and The Myth.
Most people will tell you that San Fernando's last service train was hauled by engine TGR No11 which today is on display at Harris Promenade, San Fernando. This is incorrect.
The very last train, as this short video reveals, was the service which departed platform 1, Port of Spain railway station on Monday August 30th 1965 at 5:12pm (it was 37 minutes late, scheduled to depart at 4:35pm)
The Locomotive which hauled the last service train was TGR (Trinidad Government Railway) Engine No27, which was a member of the 21 Class 4-6-0 locomotives.
This train really was the very last passenger train to San Fernando.
Over the years both the event and the song - "The Last Train to San Fernando" - have become a part of Trinidad folklore, although largely through myth rather than fact.
It has always been highly amusing to me that almost every photograph which appears in Trinidad relating to the railways inevitably carries the caption 'The Last Train to San Fernando'. Perhaps in reality, metaphorically referring to the train in the song (Dorathy's ultimatum?) and not the real historic event. And both are quite different.
Even more amusing is the misunderstanding, both locally and internationally, about the true meaning of the song and who exactly wrote it.
First of all there is no doubt, despite what many believe, that the song is about the City of San Fernando in Trinidad and not San Fernando in Colorado, USA or anywhere else. As a native of San Fernando myself, the song has always intrigued me, just as the railways have.
The song became a huge international hit by American Johnny Duncan in 1957. Johnny Duncan's producer was Dennis Preston who had a Caribbean wife. She had apparently first drawn the song to Preston's attention. It was claimed that the original song was written by the "Duke of Iron" (Real name was Cecil Anderson) but my information reveals that "Duke of Iron" was a West Indian performer in the USA who frequently performed "Last train" making it very popular abroad. He was not the original composer.
Michael Anthony's book "Glimpses of Trinidad and Tobago" published in the early 1970s indicates that "Last Train" was composed by MIGHTY SPITFIRE (local Trinidad Calypsonian, whose real name was Carlton Joseph Gumbs) in the 1940s as -- "a celebration of a late night stay in Port of Spain rather than the allusion to the closing of the San Fernando line".
I then came across a listing of Calypso Monarch competition winners, over the years, where I found the song listed as the 1950 winner, composed by the MIGHTY DICTATOR (Real name was Kenny St Bernard).
As already indicated above, the closure of the line to San Fernando occurred in 1965, a full 15 years after the song won the 1950 Monarch Competition. So, to me, Michael Anthony seemed to be spot on with his information. In any case, one only has to listen carefully to the lyric to establish that the song has nothing to do with the closure of the San Fernando line at all.
Nevertheless, over the years it has certainly taken on a symbolic significance almost becoming the remembrance anthem for the closure of the Railway to San Fernando. Perhaps, justifiably so because it is fabled to have been played by guitarist as the "Last Train to San Fernando" pulled out of Port of Spain in 1965.
In conclusion, the locomotive which hauled the very last passenger train is something which was forgotten about for many years. At the time it was paid little attention being regarded as just another "train".
The very last service train to San Fernando was hauled by Locomotive No 27 with three steel body coaches and two TGR brake vans in toe.
Locomotive No27, was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (works number 63091) of Canada in 1921. The locomotive has been immortalised by David Moore in his (April) 1976 painting at San Fernando railway station.
No 27 spent her final years quietly rusting away at St Joseph along with 12 other TGR locomotives abandoned there in 1968 when the railways perished.
Now, thanks to many people who have been instrumental in gathering historic information about the Railways of Trinidad (so listed in the video) we can now enjoy the event and the song in one, discarding the myth.
The event was captured on video by the national film unit and I have included other relevant footage and photographs to complete the story so far.
Hopefully more of this delightful material will surface in future.
I do hope that you enjoy this as much as I have.

Location
Address: 441 West San Fernando Street, San Jose, California 95110
Nearest cross-streets: Delmas Avenue and Gifford Avenue
Geographic coordinates: 37° 19' 49.3" North, 121° 53' 54.2" West

Station amenities
Architecture/public art
The San Fernando Station features three public art sculptures. They are entitled “King of the Urban Jungle,” “Simba × 2,” and “Lying Beast.” All three statues are arranged together on a small circular piece of lawn on the south edge of the station.
"Artist Iiona Malka Rich created this sculpture of three, multicolored striped lions with illuminating eyes (using fiber optics) from a bronze-like material. One has eight legs with two heads, and the other two lions have six legs each. The theme for this art feature is “Life is a Circus” which is inscribed around the base of the artwork. In addition, lion footprints are “stamped” on the ground through the plaza to replicate the natural movement of these unique animals."

Baby Boomers Tribute "Get Together" 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So Cal
Baby Boomers Tribute "Get Together" 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So Cal The San Fernando Valley is considered the child city of metropolitan Los Angeles; a child that gradually grew and matured. From the development of farming and agriculture to the subdividing of land and finally to the market boom in commercialization and industrialization, the Valley has taken on its own course in history thus invented its own acclamation. In fact, Charles A. Bearchell noted, "If the Valley were a separately incorporated city, it would rank among the top six cities in the nation." To understand the maturation of the Valley, one must note the population growth, specifically between the years 1910 to 1960, when the largest population increases were recorded in Valley history. Indeed, the population of t...

The Last Train to San Fernando 1965
"The Last Train To San Fernando" - The Event, The Song and The Myth. Most people will tell you that San Fernando's last service train was hauled by engine TGR No11 which today is on display at Harris Promenade, San Fernando. This is incorrect. The very last train, as this short video reveals, was the service which departed platform 1, Port of Spain railway station on Monday August 30th 1965 at 5:12pm (it was 37 minutes late, scheduled to depart at 4:35pm) The Locomotive which hauled the last service train was TGR (Trinidad Government Railway) Engine No27, which was a member of the 21 Class 4-6-0 locomotives. This train really was the very last passenger train to San Fernando. Over the years both the event and the song - "The Last Train to San Fernando" - have become a part of ...

Baby Boomers Tribute "Get Together" 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So Cal
The San Fernando Valley is considered the child city of metropolitan Los Angeles; a child that gradually grew and matured. From the development of farming and agriculture to the subdividing of land and finally to the market boom in commercialization and industrialization, the Valley has taken on its own course in history thus invented its own acclamation. In fact, Charles A. Bearchell noted, "If the Valley were a separately incorporated city, it would rank among the top six cities in the nation." To understand the maturation of the Valley, one must note the population growth, specifically between the years 1910 to 1960, when the largest population increases were recorded in Valley history. Indeed, the population of the San Fernando Valley increasingly doubled or even tripled every decade from 1910 to 1960. This population growth is not the net result of a single factor. Three elements - access, development, and advertisement - between the years 1910 to 1960 created the perfect foundation for population growth in the San Fernando Valley.
In 1910, the San Fernando Valley population was at 3,300. A decade later the population grew to over 21,000. In 1930 the population figures were exact with meticulous census data. The April 1st 1930 census was 78,497. Subsequently between 1930 and 1945 a population increase of 159% was recorded bringing the population total at the end of World War II to 228,734 inhabitants. By 1950, the swift increase in growth continued when the April 1st census recorded over 402,538 residents; likewise in growth when the April 1st census of 1960 doubled again with a staggering populace of 840,531 inhabiting the San Fernando Valley. It was only until the early 1970s which the population did not double nor triple itself, but only grew by about 100,000. This slower growth may be correlated to the 6.6 magnitude 1971 Sylmar earthquake, among others, as Kevin Roderick of the Los Angeles Times noted in his text, America's Suburb, "The San Fernando Valley serves, in fact, as the nation's favorite symbol of suburbia run rampant. It is the butt of jokes for its profligate sprawl, kooky architecture, unhip telephone area code, and home grown porno industry, as well as for a mythical tribe of nasal-toned, IQ challenged teenage girls who like to shop." However, the ill portrayed description of the recent San Fernando Valley by Kevin Roderick was not valid prior to the 1970s; hence the decades between 1910 leading up to the 1960s was an extremely pivotal period with respect to the vast population growth heightening the foundation of the Valley. Conclusively, the three key elements - access, development, and advertising - contributed simultaneously with each other (at one point or another) triggering an influx in population growth for the Valley.
The first fundamental theme in the immense growth of the San Fernando Valley is the means of access throughout the land. Access is both the physical means of entering and exiting the area via roads, highways and railways, and the accessibility of resources (water) to its inhabitants. To understand how highways, railways, and water escalated access throughout the land from the turn of the century up to the 1960s, one must examine the physical aspects of the land. Access to the San Fernando Valley is grouped into three noteworthy pass areas. The San Fernando Pass (also known as the Newhall Pass) at the northern tip of the Valley on the east side, the Santa Susana Pass at the northeastern portion of the Valley, and the strategically accessible southern artery to Los Angeles, the famous Cahuenga Pass.

"The Last Train To San Fernando" - The Event, The Song and The Myth.
Most people will tell you that San Fernando's last service train was hauled by engine TGR No11 which today is on display at Harris Promenade, San Fernando. This is incorrect.
The very last train, as this short video reveals, was the service which departed platform 1, Port of Spain railway station on Monday August 30th 1965 at 5:12pm (it was 37 minutes late, scheduled to depart at 4:35pm)
The Locomotive which hauled the last service train was TGR (Trinidad Government Railway) Engine No27, which was a member of the 21 Class 4-6-0 locomotives.
This train really was the very last passenger train to San Fernando.
Over the years both the event and the song - "The Last Train to San Fernando" - have become a part of Trinidad folklore, although largely through myth rather than fact.
It has always been highly amusing to me that almost every photograph which appears in Trinidad relating to the railways inevitably carries the caption 'The Last Train to San Fernando'. Perhaps in reality, metaphorically referring to the train in the song (Dorathy's ultimatum?) and not the real historic event. And both are quite different.
Even more amusing is the misunderstanding, both locally and internationally, about the true meaning of the song and who exactly wrote it.
First of all there is no doubt, despite what many believe, that the song is about the City of San Fernando in Trinidad and not San Fernando in Colorado, USA or anywhere else. As a native of San Fernando myself, the song has always intrigued me, just as the railways have.
The song became a huge international hit by American Johnny Duncan in 1957. Johnny Duncan's producer was Dennis Preston who had a Caribbean wife. She had apparently first drawn the song to Preston's attention. It was claimed that the original song was written by the "Duke of Iron" (Real name was Cecil Anderson) but my information reveals that "Duke of Iron" was a West Indian performer in the USA who frequently performed "Last train" making it very popular abroad. He was not the original composer.
Michael Anthony's book "Glimpses of Trinidad and Tobago" published in the early 1970s indicates that "Last Train" was composed by MIGHTY SPITFIRE (local Trinidad Calypsonian, whose real name was Carlton Joseph Gumbs) in the 1940s as -- "a celebration of a late night stay in Port of Spain rather than the allusion to the closing of the San Fernando line".
I then came across a listing of Calypso Monarch competition winners, over the years, where I found the song listed as the 1950 winner, composed by the MIGHTY DICTATOR (Real name was Kenny St Bernard).
As already indicated above, the closure of the line to San Fernando occurred in 1965, a full 15 years after the song won the 1950 Monarch Competition. So, to me, Michael Anthony seemed to be spot on with his information. In any case, one only has to listen carefully to the lyric to establish that the song has nothing to do with the closure of the San Fernando line at all.
Nevertheless, over the years it has certainly taken on a symbolic significance almost becoming the remembrance anthem for the closure of the Railway to San Fernando. Perhaps, justifiably so because it is fabled to have been played by guitarist as the "Last Train to San Fernando" pulled out of Port of Spain in 1965.
In conclusion, the locomotive which hauled the very last passenger train is something which was forgotten about for many years. At the time it was paid little attention being regarded as just another "train".
The very last service train to San Fernando was hauled by Locomotive No 27 with three steel body coaches and two TGR brake vans in toe.
Locomotive No27, was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (works number 63091) of Canada in 1921. The locomotive has been immortalised by David Moore in his (April) 1976 painting at San Fernando railway station.
No 27 spent her final years quietly rusting away at St Joseph along with 12 other TGR locomotives abandoned there in 1968 when the railways perished.
Now, thanks to many people who have been instrumental in gathering historic information about the Railways of Trinidad (so listed in the video) we can now enjoy the event and the song in one, discarding the myth.
The event was captured on video by the national film unit and I have included other relevant footage and photographs to complete the story so far.
Hopefully more of this delightful material will surface in future.
I do hope that you enjoy this as much as I have.

History of the San Fernando Valley
The history of the San Fernando Valley from its exploration by the 1769 Portola expedition to the annexation of much of it by the City of Los Angeles in 1915 is a story of booms and busts, as cattle ranching, sheep ranching, large-scale wheat farming, and fruit orchards flourished and faded.Throughout its history, settlement in the San Fernando Valley was shaped by availability of reliable water supplies and by proximity to the major transportation routes through the surrounding mountains. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): Minesweeper at English Wikipedia License: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (CC-BY-SA-3.0) License Url: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Author(s): Minesweeper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Minesweeper) ---Image-Cop...

Baby Boomers Tribute "Get Together" 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So Cal
The San Fernando Valley is considered the child city of metropolitan Los Angeles; a child that gradually grew and matured. From the development of farming and agriculture to the subdividing of land and finally to the market boom in commercialization and industrialization, the Valley has taken on its own course in history thus invented its own acclamation. In fact, Charles A. Bearchell noted, "If the Valley were a separately incorporated city, it would rank among the top six cities in the nation." To understand the maturation of the Valley, one must note the population growth, specifically between the years 1910 to 1960, when the largest population increases were recorded in Valley history. Indeed, the population of the San Fernando Valley increasingly doubled or even tripled every decade from 1910 to 1960. This population growth is not the net result of a single factor. Three elements - access, development, and advertisement - between the years 1910 to 1960 created the perfect foundation for population growth in the San Fernando Valley.
In 1910, the San Fernando Valley population was at 3,300. A decade later the population grew to over 21,000. In 1930 the population figures were exact with meticulous census data. The April 1st 1930 census was 78,497. Subsequently between 1930 and 1945 a population increase of 159% was recorded bringing the population total at the end of World War II to 228,734 inhabitants. By 1950, the swift increase in growth continued when the April 1st census recorded over 402,538 residents; likewise in growth when the April 1st census of 1960 doubled again with a staggering populace of 840,531 inhabiting the San Fernando Valley. It was only until the early 1970s which the population did not double nor triple itself, but only grew by about 100,000. This slower growth may be correlated to the 6.6 magnitude 1971 Sylmar earthquake, among others, as Kevin Roderick of the Los Angeles Times noted in his text, America's Suburb, "The San Fernando Valley serves, in fact, as the nation's favorite symbol of suburbia run rampant. It is the butt of jokes for its profligate sprawl, kooky architecture, unhip telephone area code, and home grown porno industry, as well as for a mythical tribe of nasal-toned, IQ challenged teenage girls who like to shop." However, the ill portrayed description of the recent San Fernando Valley by Kevin Roderick was not valid prior to the 1970s; hence the decades between 1910 leading up to the 1960s was an extremely pivotal period with respect to the vast population growth heightening the foundation of the Valley. Conclusively, the three key elements - access, development, and advertising - contributed simultaneously with each other (at one point or another) triggering an influx in population growth for the Valley.
The first fundamental theme in the immense growth of the San Fernando Valley is the means of access throughout the land. Access is both the physical means of entering and exiting the area via roads, highways and railways, and the accessibility of resources (water) to its inhabitants. To understand how highways, railways, and water escalated access throughout the land from the turn of the century up to the 1960s, one must examine the physical aspects of the land. Access to the San Fernando Valley is grouped into three noteworthy pass areas. The San Fernando Pass (also known as the Newhall Pass) at the northern tip of the Valley on the east side, the Santa Susana Pass at the northeastern portion of the Valley, and the strategically accessible southern artery to Los Angeles, the famous Cahuenga Pass.

"The Last Train To San Fernando" - The Event, The Song and The Myth.
Most people will tell you that San Fernando's last service train was hauled by engine TGR No11 which today is on display at Harris Promenade, San Fernando. This is incorrect.
The very last train, as this short video reveals, was the service which departed platform 1, Port of Spain railway station on Monday August 30th 1965 at 5:12pm (it was 37 minutes late, scheduled to depart at 4:35pm)
The Locomotive which hauled the last service train was TGR (Trinidad Government Railway) Engine No27, which was a member of the 21 Class 4-6-0 locomotives.
This train really was the very last passenger train to San Fernando.
Over the years both the event and the song - "The Last Train to San Fernando" - have become a part of Trinidad folklore, although largely through myth rather than fact.
It has always been highly amusing to me that almost every photograph which appears in Trinidad relating to the railways inevitably carries the caption 'The Last Train to San Fernando'. Perhaps in reality, metaphorically referring to the train in the song (Dorathy's ultimatum?) and not the real historic event. And both are quite different.
Even more amusing is the misunderstanding, both locally and internationally, about the true meaning of the song and who exactly wrote it.
First of all there is no doubt, despite what many believe, that the song is about the City of San Fernando in Trinidad and not San Fernando in Colorado, USA or anywhere else. As a native of San Fernando myself, the song has always intrigued me, just as the railways have.
The song became a huge international hit by American Johnny Duncan in 1957. Johnny Duncan's producer was Dennis Preston who had a Caribbean wife. She had apparently first drawn the song to Preston's attention. It was claimed that the original song was written by the "Duke of Iron" (Real name was Cecil Anderson) but my information reveals that "Duke of Iron" was a West Indian performer in the USA who frequently performed "Last train" making it very popular abroad. He was not the original composer.
Michael Anthony's book "Glimpses of Trinidad and Tobago" published in the early 1970s indicates that "Last Train" was composed by MIGHTY SPITFIRE (local Trinidad Calypsonian, whose real name was Carlton Joseph Gumbs) in the 1940s as -- "a celebration of a late night stay in Port of Spain rather than the allusion to the closing of the San Fernando line".
I then came across a listing of Calypso Monarch competition winners, over the years, where I found the song listed as the 1950 winner, composed by the MIGHTY DICTATOR (Real name was Kenny St Bernard).
As already indicated above, the closure of the line to San Fernando occurred in 1965, a full 15 years after the song won the 1950 Monarch Competition. So, to me, Michael Anthony seemed to be spot on with his information. In any case, one only has to listen carefully to the lyric to establish that the song has nothing to do with the closure of the San Fernando line at all.
Nevertheless, over the years it has certainly taken on a symbolic significance almost becoming the remembrance anthem for the closure of the Railway to San Fernando. Perhaps, justifiably so because it is fabled to have been played by guitarist as the "Last Train to San Fernando" pulled out of Port of Spain in 1965.
In conclusion, the locomotive which hauled the very last passenger train is something which was forgotten about for many years. At the time it was paid little attention being regarded as just another "train".
The very last service train to San Fernando was hauled by Locomotive No 27 with three steel body coaches and two TGR brake vans in toe.
Locomotive No27, was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (works number 63091) of Canada in 1921. The locomotive has been immortalised by David Moore in his (April) 1976 painting at San Fernando railway station.
No 27 spent her final years quietly rusting away at St Joseph along with 12 other TGR locomotives abandoned there in 1968 when the railways perished.
Now, thanks to many people who have been instrumental in gathering historic information about the Railways of Trinidad (so listed in the video) we can now enjoy the event and the song in one, discarding the myth.
The event was captured on video by the national film unit and I have included other relevant footage and photographs to complete the story so far.
Hopefully more of this delightful material will surface in future.
I do hope that you enjoy this as much as I have.

So, to me, Michael Anthony seemed to be spot on with his information. In any case, one only has to listen carefully to the lyric to establish that the song has nothing to do with the closure of the San Fernando line at all.
Nevertheless, over the years it has certainly taken on a symbolic significance almost becoming the remembrance anthem for the closure of the Railway to San Fernando. Perhaps, justifiably so because it is fabled to have been played by guitarist as the "Last Train to San Fernando" pulled out of Port of Spain in 1965.
In conclusion, the locomotive which hauled the very last passenger train is something which was forgotten about for many years. At the time it was paid little attention being regarded as just another "train".
The very last service train to San Fernando was hauled by Locomotive No 27 with three steel body coaches and two TGR brake vans in toe.
Locomotive No27, was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works (works number 63091) of Canada in 1921. The locomotive has been immortalised by David Moore in his (April) 1976 painting at San Fernando railway station.
No 27 spent her final years quietly rusting away at St Joseph along with 12 other TGR locomotives abandoned there in 1968 when the railways perished.
Now, thanks to many people who have been instrumental in gathering historic information about the Railways of Trinidad (so listed in the video) we can now enjoy the event and the song in one, discarding the myth.
The event was captured on video by the national film unit and I have included other relevant footage and photographs to complete the story so far.
Hopefully more of this delightful material will surface in future.
I do hope that you enjoy this as much as I have.

History of the San Fernando Valley
The history of the San Fernando Valley from its exploration by the 1769 Portola expedition to the annexation of much of it by the City of Los Angeles in 1915 is a story of booms and busts, as cattle ranching, sheep ranching, large-scale wheat farming, and fruit orchards flourished and faded.Throughout its history, settlement in the San Fernando Valley was shaped by availability of reliable water supplies and by proximity to the major transportation routes through the surrounding mountains. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s): Minesweeper at English Wikipedia License: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (CC-BY-SA-3.0) License Url: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Author(s): Minesweeper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Minesweeper) ---Image-Cop...

The Valley In The Struggle
The Valley In The Struggle is a short documentary sharing the amazing story of the San Fernando Valley's participation in fighting for farm worker justice. Together, the UFW and residents of the valley boycotted local grocery stores, picketed farm fields and marched the 340 mile Peregrinacion (Pilgrimage), all in the name of civil rights and dignity. Together, Cesar Chavez and the San Fernando Valley sacrificed their lives to create a better tomorrow, not only for their Mexican-American brothers and sisters, but for the greater American community. The sacrifices of those who fought for justice in the San Fernando Valley, solidified their rightful place in American History. www.TheValleyInTheStruggle.com Stay Connected: facebook.com/thevalleyinthestruggle Produced by Start Now Studios www...

"The 1971 San Fernando earthquake (also known as the Sylmar earthquake) occurred in the early morning of February 9 in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in southern California. The unanticipated thrust earthquake had a moment magnitude of 6.5 or 6.7 (as determined by several independent institutions) and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). The event was one in a series that affected the Los Angeles area in the late 20th century, and a study of the Sierra Madre Fault during that time indicated that more substantial thrust earthquakes had occurred near the Transverse Ranges in the past. Damage was locally severe in the northern San Fernando Valley, and surface faulting was extensive to the south of the epicenter in the mountains, as well as urban settings along city streets and neighborhoods. Uplift and other effects affected private homes and businesses.
The event affected a number of health care facilities in Sylmar, San Fernando, and other densely populated areas north of central Los Angeles. The Olive View Medical Center and Veterans Hospital both experienced very heavy damage, and buildings collapsed at both sites, causing the majority of deaths that occurred. The buildings at both facilities were constructed with mixed styles, but engineers were unable to thoroughly study the buildings' responses because they were not outfitted with instruments for recording strong ground motion, and this prompted the Veterans Administration to install seismometers at its high-risk sites. Other sites throughout the Los Angeles area had been instrumented as a result of local ordinances, and an extraordinary amount of strong motion data was recorded, more so than any other event up until that time. The success in this area spurred the initiation of California's Strong Motion Instrumentation Program.
Transportation around the Los Angeles area was severely afflicted with roadway failures and the partial collapse of several major freeway interchanges. The near total failure of the Lower Van Norman Dam resulted in the evacuation of tens of thousands of downstream residents, though an earlier decision to maintain the water at a lower level may have contributed to saving the dam from being overtopped. Schools were affected, as they had been during the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, but this time amended construction styles improved the outcome for the thousands of school buildings in the Los Angeles area. Other aspects of the event included a methane seep that emanated from the floor of the Pacific Ocean near Malibu for several days, and hundreds of various types of landslides that were documented in the San Gabriel mountains. As had happened following other earthquakes in California, legislation related to building codes was once again revised, with laws that specifically addressed the construction of homes or businesses near known active fault zones.

San Fernando, Roy Orbison
San Fernando
Weit im Sueden, liegt ein Hafen
Es war wunderbar, dort vor einem Jahr
Tausend Wunder, dort im Hafen sind die Gruende
dass ich bald nach Sueden fahr.
San Fernando, San Fernando
Ich komm wieder, wenn die Rosen wieder bluehn
San Fernando, gruess Maria
Gruess die Sterne und die Liebesmelodie
Weit im Sueden, liegt ein Hafen
Der voll Zauber ist, den man nie vergisst
Doch das schoenste dort im Hafen
Sind die Lippen, die mich tausendmal gekuesst
San Fernando, San Fernando
Ich komm wieder, wenn die Rosen wieder bluehn
San Fernando, gruess Maria
