Granada Hills Centennial Celebrations Culminate April 2026

History Timeline - Granada Hills Centennial Celebration  The story of our town begins with a coin toss in 1881, a rabbit industry, and lots of oranges.

"1917 - Martin Henry Mosier, a wealthy Oklahoma oilman, purchases 4,100 acres from the San Fernando Mission Land Company and names it Sunshine Ranch. The ranch is planted with 1,200 acres of citrus, apricots, walnuts, beans, and alfalfa. A large dairy and poultry operation is built. The center of operations is the intersection of Rinaldi Street and Shoshone Avenue. 35 buildings are painted a bright orange-yellow. 3 of the original bunkhouses are still there."
