San Fernando, Residential city in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County, United States.
San Fernando spans across a compact area at 326 meters elevation, completely enclosed by different Los Angeles neighborhoods including Sylmar and Pacoima.
The city incorporated in 1911 and maintained independence from Los Angeles through the 20th century due to its separate groundwater supply system.
The Mariachi Master Apprentice Program stands as a central educational initiative, reflecting the strong Hispanic heritage that shapes 93% of the population.
The municipality operates five Electric Vehicle charging stations and maintains a Compressed Natural Gas filling station to support sustainable transportation options.
Despite being entirely surrounded by Los Angeles, San Fernando retains administrative independence and manages its own water resources through local infrastructure.
