For my Geography project, the city I chose to do it on is Santa Clarita, California. The reason I chose this city is because it is the city where I am currently living in. So thanks for visiting my web page and enjoy!

Chapter 11: Agricultural Core


















(The pictures above shows just some of the few that Santa Clarita grew in its city back before modernization)





From an article from the Los Angeles Times Newspaper, Jonathan Gaw stated that the Palafox Family was lured into the Santa Clarita Valley because of the vegetable fields. That was about 15 years ago where the Santa Clarita Valley was away from modernization. Back when town homes, office buildings, and even the massive shopping mall we now currently have did not exist, fields of many different types of agriculture existed. Unfortunately, as Santa Clarita decided to be modernized, the fields of onions, radishes, carrots, and parsleys started to disappear. It started forcing the farms to migrate to the west to Ventura county and north towards Bakersfield.
