Sylmar, Residential neighborhood in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, United States
Sylmar extends across the northern section of the San Fernando Valley, featuring residential communities surrounded by mountain ranges and suburban developments.
The area transformed in the 1890s when the Los Angeles Olive Growers Association established extensive olive groves, making it the largest olive cultivation site worldwide.
The Nethercutt Collection museum displays classical automobiles, mechanical musical instruments, and historical artifacts that represent American transportation and engineering evolution.
The neighborhood connects to downtown Los Angeles through multiple transportation options, including the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station and several major highways.
The Los Angeles Aqueduct concludes at the Cascades, a water channel designated as both a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and California Historical Landmark.
