San Fernando Valley (Valley of the Stars)
The San Fernando Valley (known as the Valley of the Stars) is an urbanized valley located in Southern California, United States. Other cities in the valley include Burbank, Glendale, San Fernando, and Calabasas. Currently, approximately 1.8 million people reside in the Valley.
The San Fernando Valley is about 260 square miles bounded by the Santa Susana Mountains to the northwest, the Simi Hills to the west, the Santa Monica Mountains to the south, the Verdugo Mountains to the east, and the San Gabriel Mountains to the northeast. The Sierra Pelona Mountains (to the north) can be seen in parts of the San Fernando Valley from the gap between the Santa Susana and San Gabriel (Newhall Pass).
Los Angeles’ administrative center for the valley is in Van Nuys. The area in and around the Van Nuys branch of Los Angeles City Hall is home to a police station, municipal and superior courts, and Los Angeles city and county administrative offices. Northridge is home to California State University Northridge (originally named San Fernando Valley State College).
