Additional Information
By the time of this map’s publication, the San Fernando Valley had seen rapid expansion and an economic shift from a largely agrarian community with vast farms and ranches to a bustling suburb of Los Angeles following its annexation in 1915. The extension of the Pacific Electric Railroad in the early 1900s also increased access for residents to commute to central Los Angeles from the Valley. Three primary industries would come to dominate the area in the twentieth century, motion pictures, automobile production, and the beginnings of the aviation industry. As cities and municipalities were established during this time, the area developed a distant culture that was a blend of traditional Spanish and Indigenous traditions with contemporary American attitudes and beliefs.
The San Fernando Valley experienced one of the most significant population booms of any region in America following the conclusion of World War II. Drawn to affordable housing and temperate weather as well as employment opportunities, Americans flocked to the area in the 1950s and 1960s and would create some of the most iconic West Coast imagery of the twentieth century. The unique geography of the Valley created numerous neighborhoods and independent cities that remain culturally significant to this day.
War efforts during World War I caused the economy to move away from agriculture, and widespread suburbanization would come to define the San Fernando Valley during the early and middle portions of the twentieth century. This authentic piece of American cartographical history immediately transports the viewer back in time.
