Chatsworth (Neighborhood)
Los Angeles CA
~9.28 miles from Stevenson Ranch city center
Hotels Close to Chatsworth
Chatsworth was originally inhabited by the Fernandeno and Chumash tribes. The first European explorers came into the Chatsworth area on August 5, 1769, led by Gaspar de Portola. After the San Fernando Mission was established in 1797, Spain granted the land of the San Fernando Valley, including Chatsworth, to the new mission.
An Indian trail ran from Chatsworth to the San Fernando Mission, and was part of the El Camino del Santa Susana y Simi trail that connected the San Fernando Mission to the San Buenaventura Mission. The trail crossed into the valley over the Santa Susana Pass near Chatsworth Park.
In 1821, after the Mexican people revolted against Spain and claimed independence, the San Fernando Mission became part of Mexico. In 1834, the Mexican government ordered the sale of all mission lands, and as a result, Chatsworth was divided - the Eastern part became Rancho San Fernando and the Western part became part of the Simi land grant. The border line extended down the center of what is now Andora Avenue.
The town was named after Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire, the country estate of England's Duke of Devonshire. ("Devonshire" is also the name of a major street in Chatsworth.)

Lake Balboa (Neighborhood)

Hotels Close to Lake Balboa
Lake Balboa is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California.
It is bordered by the following Los Angeles communities: Encino to the south, Van Nuys to the east, Reseda to the west, and Northridge and North Hills to the north.
It is named for a 27-acre (110,000 m2) artificial lake that is actually in Anthony C. Beilenson Park. The lake was created out of farm land in the early 1990s at the bottom of real estate bust in the San Fernando Valley. It is now part of a recreational park adjacent to the Balboa Park Golf Course with abundant fish, birds, mature flowering trees and scenic open and covered picnic areas. Real estate values in the surrounding area of Lake Balboa have dramatically increased in past years and have made such properties more desirable to potential buyers. The lake is supplied with water from the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant, operated by the city's Bureau of Sanitation.
There was debate about the official recognition of Lake Balboa as a community by the City of Los Angeles. The reason for this stems from the fact that the community of Lake Balboa was created by Councilman Dennis Zine in 2002 before the existence of any formal community naming process. As a result, the community of Lake Balboa was created under the best practices known at the time. It was only later, in January 2006, that the City of Los Angeles adopted a formal community naming process (City of Los Angeles Council File Number 02-0196). This debate had important implications for the official existence of many other Los Angeles communities that were created prior to January 2006. These communities include Arleta, North Hills, Porter Ranch, Valley Glen, Valley Village, West Hills, Winnetka, and many others.
