What is the history of San Fernando?
"San Fernando is the oldest city in the San Fernando Valley from which it gets its name. It was founded in 1874 and carries the nickname of ""The Mission City"" due to it being near the San Fernando Mission that was established in 1797. Over time, the land around the San Fernando Mission gave way to development by settlers who arrived to farm the land. The Southern Pacific Railroad built a rail line between Los Angeles and Bakersfield and included a stop in San Fernando. In the early 1910s, a syndicate known as the Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company established the Southern San Fernando Valley electric railway in order to spur residential and agricultural growth in the area. The syndicate was dramatized for the movie Chinatown. "
