==History== The [[San Fernando Valley]] has been inhabited by the [[Chumash people|Chumash]] and [[Tongva]] for thousands of years. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to set foot on the land. In 1770, an expedition headed by [[Gaspar de Portolá]] crossed the area while returning to [[Mexico]] from Northern California. In 1776, a northbound party of explorers led by [[Juan Bautista de Anza]] camped there on its way from Mexico.<ref>{{cite web |title=Calabasas History |url=https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/our-city/about-us/history |website=City of Calabasas |access-date=August 19, 2020}}</ref> ''Calabasas'' was the name given to a [[ranchería]] in the Los Angeles area in 1795.
