Historical Background
Sunland-Tujunga
is
located
in the
foothills
of the
San
Gabriel
Mountains
,
about
14
miles
north
of the
Los
Angeles
civic
center
.
Spanish
settlement
of the
Sunland-Tujunga
area
occurred
between
1769
and
1822
.
Mission
San
Gabriel
,
founded
in
1771
,
brought
prosperity
to the
area
.
After
the
secularization
of the
missions
, the
lands
were
converted
to
ranchos
.
Rancho
Tujunga
encompassed
the
area
that
later
became
Sunland
,
Tujunga
,
Lake
View
Terrace
, and
Shadow
Hills
. In
1842
,
gold
was
discovered
a
few
miles
north
of
Rancho
Tujunga
,
bringing
prospectors
and
other
opportunists
to the
area
. As the
result
of an
economic
down-turn
in the
years
after
the
gold
rush
, the
land
was
subdivided
and
sold
. In
1932
, the
area
was
annexed
to the
city
of
Los
Angeles
.
During
the
first
half
of the
20th
century
, the
area
consisted
mostly
of
ranch
land
and
orchards
.
Much
of the
area
has
since
been
converted
to
houses
or
apartment
and
condominium
buildings
and
some
small
commercial
development
,
though
remnants
of the
orchards
and
ranches
can
still
be
seen
.
