Reseda, CA
The neighborhood of Reseda is located in the San Fernando Valley north of the 101 Freeway. Founded in 1912 on land that was originally part of the San Fernando Mission, the town got its name from the fragrant smelling plant, “Reseda odorata” or mignonette, which was commonly found in area gardens at the time.
Early in its history, Reseda was primarily an agricultural community, but after World War II, the town experienced a population explosion with a large influx of families moving into the area, making it one of the most popular as well as populated of all the Valley communities. Reseda became one of the first suburbs in the San Fernando Valley along with other nearby Valley neighborhoods such as Encino, Sherman Oaks, and Tarzana.
The economy of Reseda has had its ups and downs due primarily to the affects of two major earthquakes that hit the area, The Northridge Earthquake of 1994 and the Sylmar Earthquake of 1971.
