The City of Santa Clarita

The City of Santa Clarita is located in northern Los Angeles County, approximately 20 minutes north of the San Fernando Valley and 45 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. It is is made up of four subsections, Valencia, Newhall, Saugus and Canyon Country or areas that make up the City of Santa Clarita, which was established in 1987 and incorporated Valencia, Canyon Country, Saugus and Newhall. We are still in the process of incorporating the two neighbor cities ofStevenson Ranch and Castaic. There are also parts of Santa Clarita which are considered unincorporated into the city. These areas confusingly are referred to as “Santa Clarita” but are not part of “The City of Santa Clarita.” Some of those areas are outlying and in more rural areas, although some people just call all party of the city “Santa Clarita.” The City of Santa Clarita is located in the Santa Clarita Valley which is bordered by mountains all around and the two freeways, 5 Golden State Freeway and the 14 Antelope Valley Freeway, making the commute to either Glendale or the Burbank Studios or downtown Los Angeles where many of our residents work, very easy. Although both freeways are easily accessible from any part of Santa Clarita, The Golden State 5 freeway is just adjacent to Valencia/Newhall/Stevenson Ranch where as the Antelope Valley Freeway 14 is adjacent to Canyon Country. Both freeways provide an easy and quick route to the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles proper. We also have a very clean and efficient Metro link train system and several convenient stations, each complete with a park and ride lot that is available for a quick and easy commute to downtown Los Angeles. .
