San Fernando Gardens, Los Angeles, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

San Fernando Gardens is a housing project located on the east side of Van Nuys Boulevard at 10995 Lehigh Avenue [1] in the Pacoima district of the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.

San Fernando Gardens was built during World War II to house workers at the nearby Lockheed aerospace manufacturing facilities in Burbank. The project was racially integrated; its wartime black population was the first significant African-American population in the San Fernando Valley. Like the district surrounding it, San Fernando Gardens is now overwhelmingly Latino. It is the northernmost project in Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles's system.

[edit] Education

The facility is assigned to the following Los Angeles Unified School District schools:

• Pacoima Elementary School
