http://www.csun.edu/sfverc/Data/2004popbyage.html About the San Fernando Valley
The San Fernando Valley is bounded by the Santa Susana Mountains to the
north and west, the Santa Monica Mountains to the south, and the San
Gabriel Mountains to the east. It lies within Los Angeles County and
includes the cities of: Burbank, Calabasas, Glendale, Hidden Hills, and
San Fernando, as well as the Valley portion of the City of Los Angeles.
The Valley portion of the City of Los Angeles, which is roughly defined
as the area north of Mulholland Boulevard and west of Barham Boulevard,
comprises the largest part of the San Fernando Valley, accounting for
approximately 80 percent of the Valley’s population and 77 percent of
its land area. The Los Angeles portion of the Valley is better known by
its array of “named communities.”
At present, 27 “named” communities make up the Los Angeles portion of
the Valley, including Universal City. None of these communities are
legal entities; all are part of Los Angeles. The power to name a
particular area rests with the Los Angeles City Council, and they
exercise that power relatively often, carving newly named communities out of existing ones. In recent years, three new
areas have been carved out and named—West Hills, Valley Village and
Valley Glen. The Valley portion also accounts for an important and sizable part of the City of Los Angeles with 47 percent of its land area and 37 percent of its population.
