San Fernando (Spanish for “St. Ferdinand”) is a city in Los Angeles County, California, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. San Fernando lies on all sides of Los Angeles and is part of that metropolitan area. The city’s population was 23,645 according to the 2010 census.
With the neighborhoods of Sylmar to its north, Lake View Terrace to its east, Pacoima to its south, and Mission Hills to its west, San Fernando is completely surrounded by Los Angeles. There are four main freeways that serve the city: Interstates 5 (Golden State), 210 (Foothill), 118 (Ronald Reagan), and 405 (San Diego).
As part of the Mexican land grant of Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando, the city was named after the nearby Mission San Fernando Rey de Espaa (which in turn was named after St. Ferdinand). Charles Maclay, the founder of San Fernando, bought 56,000 acres (227 km2) of the Rancho. George K. Porter and Benjamin F. Porter, cousins and owners of the future Porter Ranch, each received a third of the land. Maclay founded the Maclay School of Theology, a Methodist seminary, in San Fernando in 1885. It became an affiliate of the University of Southern California after his death, and later moved to the Claremont School of Theology.
In the 1910s, most towns in the surrounding San Fernando Valley agreed to annexation by Los Angeles, eager to tap the abundant water supply provided by the newly opened Los Angeles Aqueduct. However, San Fernando remained an independent city thanks to its abundant groundwater supplies. Following incorporation in 1911, the city of San Fernando attempted to annex its city limits to Sylmar, Mission Hills, and Pacoima, but the city of Los Angeles kept up their rapid annexation and caused many failed attempts; and by the 1950s, the city said annexations were difficult due to Los Angeles’ large bureaucracy. Even as the San Fernando Valley has transitioned from an agricultural to a suburban area after World War II, San Fernando has maintained its independence.
San Fernando has experienced a significant demographic shift as has much of the San Fernando Valley east of the San Diego Freeway. An aging population of middle-class whites, who once dominated the area in the 1950s, has contributed to the movement into other parts of the San Fernando Valley. There has also been movement into the Antelope Valley as well as the Santa Clarita Valley. By 2015, the population of Latinos in the Greater Los Angeles area reached 90 percent (the largest percentage in the Greater Los Angeles area).
