In 1874 , San Fernando became the valley’s first organized community, thus earning the title “First City of the Valley”. With the arrival of the railroad two years later, town lots soared from $10 apiece to $150.  The city was incorporated AUGUST 31, 1911

Today there are 24,564 residents in the City of San Fernando

San Fernando proudly offers responsive city services, good access to city government, a large labor pool, a lower business tax than Los Angeles, and no utility tax.


The Lopez Adobe is one of the oldest residential structures in the San Fernando Valley. 

According to the Los Angeles Conservancy website:

"Built by Valentin Lopez, the house was primarily occupied by his sister Catalina and her husband Geronimo Lopez. The Lopez family was a prominent family in the area, and established the Valley’s first post office and English-speaking school. Members of the Lopez family continued to live in the home until 1961.


The City of San Fernando purchased the property in 1971 and this remarkable piece of San Fernando Valley history currently serves as a museum. Recent restoration and rehabilitation work performed in compliance with the Secretary of Interior’s standards earned the Lopez Adobe a 2013 Preservation Award.
