Blu Jay Plumbing and Rooter is proud of serving the community of Woodland Hills, which is located in the southwestern part of the San Fernando Valley.
This area was inhabited for around 8,000 years by Native Americans of the Fernandeño-Tataviam and Chumash-Venturaño tribes, who lived in the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills and close to the Arroyo Calabasas (Calabasas Creek) tributary of the Los Angeles River in present-day Woodland Hills.
As was mentioned in previous city blogs, the first Europeans to enter the San Fernando Valley were the Portola Expedition in 1769, exploring Alta California for Spanish mission and settlement locations. Viewing the Valley from the present-day Sepulveda Pass, influenced the expedition to call the oak savanna El Valle de Santa Catalina de Bononia de Los Encinos (Valley of St. Catherine of Bononia of the Oaks). Mission San Fernando Rey de España (Mission San Fernando) was established in 1797 and controlled the valley’s land, including future Woodland Hills.
The development of the southern part of the Valley (south of what is now Roscoe Blvd. from Toluca Lake to Woodland Hills) began in the 1860s, when Isaac Lankershim (as the “San Fernando Farm Homestead Association”) bought 60,000 acres from the southern half of the Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando in 1869. In 1880, Isaac Lankershim’s son, James Boon Lankershim, and Isaac Newton Van Nuys formed the Los Angeles Farm & Milling Company from the former San Fernando Farm Homestead Association.
Then, in 1909, The Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company (a new syndicate led by Harry Chandler of the Los Angeles Times, Hobart Johnstone Whitley, Gen. Moses Sherman, and Issac Van Nuys) acquired 47,000 acres from the original 60,000 acres above. The company developed plans for the creation of Van Nuys, Marion (present day Reseda), and Owensmouth (present day Canoga Park and West Hills). With the anticipated completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1915 which would bring water needed for development in the dry, arid San Fernando Valley, lot sales for Van Nuys and Owensmouth began in 1911.
Finally, Victor Girard Kleinberger bought almost 3,000 acres from the above syndicate in 1922 and created the town of Girard. The community was incorporated into Los Angeles in 1945 and it’s name was changed to Woodland Hills.
