Chapter 1: Introduction


Santa Clarita also known as Santa Clarita Valley or SCV is known to be the fourth largest in the Los Angeles County. This city contains several communities. These communities are Canyon Country, Saugus, Valencia, and Newhall. With having the Golden State Interstate 5 and the Antelope Valley SR-14 freeway as the principle boundaries, they contain a very unique shaped appearance on the map.

Being compared to cities with at least 100,000 inhabitants, Santa Clarita ranked to be 6th safest city in the United States.

Until today in present time, Santa Clarita is becoming or urbanized. I say this because Santa Clarita continues develop and modernize the city. Back in the early days, Old Town Newhall used to be a land filled with agriculture. As time pass by, Santa Clarita slowly formed to become what it is today.
