Van Nuys(/vænˈnaɪz/) is a neighborhood in the centralSan Fernando Valleyregion ofLos Angeles, California.Home toVan Nuys Airportand theValley Municipal Building,it is the most populous neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.

History[edit]

W. P. Whitsett's real estate office, 1911. His homestead would be the site ofButler Brothers Department Store,laterDearden'son Van Nuys Blvd. at Kittridge
The Van Nuys Post Office, built in 1935, was designed in theSpanish Colonial Revivalstyle.

In 1909, the Suburban Homes Company – a syndicate led byHobart Johnstone Whitley,general manager of the board of control, along withHarry Chandler,H. G. Otis, M. H. Sherman and O. F. Brandt – purchased 48,000 acres of the Farming and Milling Company for $2.5 million.[1]Henry E. Huntingtonextended hisPacific Electric Railway(Red Cars) through the Valley toOwensmouth(now Canoga Park). The Suburban Home Company laid out plans for roads and the towns of Van Nuys, Reseda (Marian) and Canoga Park (Owensmouth). The rural areas were annexed into the city of Los Angeles in 1915.[2][3]

The town was founded in 1911 and named for one of its developers,Isaac Newton Van Nuys,a rancher and entrepreneur of Dutch ancestry.[4][5]It was annexed byLos Angeleson May 22, 1915,[6]after completion of theLos Angeles Aqueduct,providing it with the water required for further growth.[7]Van Nuys was the first new stop on theSan Fernando Lineof thePacific Electric Railwayred cars system, which boosted its early land sales and commercial success.[5]From as far as Alhambra, in 1917, day trips were organized for potential buyers of five-acre farms.[8]

Van Nuys became the Valley's satellite Los Angeles municipal civic center with the 1932Art DecoValley Municipal Building (Van Nuys City Hall), a visual landmark andLos Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument,starting the present-day Government Center complex of government services buildings.[5]

In 1991, Marvin Braude, a member of theLos Angeles City Council,redesignated a 45-block area of Van Nuys as a part ofSherman Oaks.[9]This redesignated area included the community of Magnolia Woods.[10]Some area residents had presented a petition and several original deeds that stated "Sherman Oaks" to Braude. They argued that the area was a part of Sherman Oaks until the 1960s, whenZIP Codeslabeling the area as Van Nuys were established.[9]

G Line Bikeway,Van Nuys

In October 2005, theMetro Orange Lineopened with two stations,Van Nuys station (Los Angeles Metro)andSepulveda station.

In 2014, a "Great Streets" project was introduced by MayorEric Garcettiwith Van Nuys Blvd. to be redesigned between Victory Blvd. and Oxnard Street. Also, Sepulveda Blvd. was resurfaced between Victory Blvd and Oxnard Street in May 2014. A new Los Angeles County family services building was built on the southwest corner of Van Nuys Blvd. and Saticoy Street in 2016.[citation needed]

Geography and climate[edit]

Van Nuys is bordered on the north byNorth Hills,on the northeast byPanorama City,on the east byValley Glen,on the south bySherman Oaks,on the southwest by theSepulveda Basin,on the west byLake Balboa,and on the northwest byNorthridge.[11]Its street and other boundaries are Roscoe Boulevard on the north,Sepulveda Boulevard,theTujunga Wash,Woodman Avenue and Hazeltine Avenue on the east, Oxnard Street on the south, theSepulveda Basinon the southwest and Odessa and Hayvenhurst avenues and Balboa Boulevard on the west.[12]

Boundary changes[edit]

Some former Van Nuys neighborhoods won approval in 2009 by the Los Angeles City Council to break off from Van Nuys and join the neighboring communities ofLake Balboa,Valley Glen,andSherman Oaks[13]in an effort to raise their property values. City Council memberTony Cardenas"suggested the change was motivated by racism."[14]
