Woodland Hills, California is proud of its history and of the beautiful community it has become.  Woodland Hills remains the jewel of the San Fernando Valley, a community of lovely Spanish style homes on rolling hills, at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains. Although it is growing with its vital business district, it maintains its caring calm atmosphere.

Residents enjoy warm summers and mild winters. Woodland Hills offers a wide range of activities, historical parks, and museums. The area offers arts and crafts along with sporting events and safe clean playgrounds for the children.  There is an 18-hole golf course, bicycle paths, garden center, 20 acres of picnic grounds, and 60 acres of wildlife park with an 11 acre pond.

Woodland Hills has more than 50 different restaurants along Ventura Boulevard making it the "Valley of Restaurants Row".  The business district is located in a 3.2 mile stretch of the city.  Commuters are minutes from the 101 Freeway which runs east and west of the valley, or the 405 will take you into downtown Los Angeles, to the Santa Monica beaches, and to the Los Angeles International Airport.

Woodland Hills has an excellent school system and top rate health care systems. 

The city of Woodland Hills occupies a land area of 99.1 square miles. The downtown was revitalized in the 1960s with the completion of a major shopping mall and a convention center, which underwent expansion in the mid-1990s. At the center of the downtown area is Courthouse Park. Several structures of architectural and historical significance are located near the park. Northwest of the park is the old Woodland Hills City Hall, constructed in the early 1940s and now the police headquarters. The new site of City Hall, built in 1992, is west of the park. Nearby is the city’s best-known landmark, the Old Woodland Hills Water Tower (1894).

The surrounding district is a retail and residential neighborhood with mostly low-rise architecture. To the southeast is the Santa Fe Depot, a railway station built in 1896 in the California Mission Revival Style; a second nearby station was scheduled for construction by the end of the decade. South of this station is the Warehouse Row Historical District, containing several restored structures from the early 20th century.

The Woodland Hills metropolitan area encompasses Woodland Hills and Madera counties in addition to Fresno, the region includes the cities of Chowchilla, Clovis, Firebaugh, Madera, Mendota, Sanger, and Selma.

The driving force in Fresno’s economy is agriculture. Local farmers produce more than 250 different crops, including cotton, grapes, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, oranges, and nectarines. Woodland Hills and the surrounding area produce about 60 percent of the world’s raisins and about 90 percent of the raisins sold on the U.S. market.

In recent years, the city’s economy has expanded to include manufacturing, service, and industrial operations. Fresno’s inexpensive land prices and low cost of living have helped to attract new businesses. Government employment also is an important part of the local economy. Among the largest public employers are the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the city and county governments.

Woodland Hills is linked to northern and southern California by State Highway 99, which passes along the city’s western border. Highway 41 connects Woodland Hills with the central coast and with Yosemite National Park. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads provide freight service to Fresno, and daily passenger service is available via Amtrak. The Woodland Hills Yosemite International Airport serves more than 1 million passengers per year.

Woodland Hills was the fastest-growing big city in the United States during the 1980s, with a growth rate of 61.3 percent. Much of the growth was fueled by the arrival of families from the more crowded Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas, who were attracted by Fresno’s affordable housing and low cost of living. The relocation of businesses from other urban areas offered new employment opportunities.
