Woodland Hills history/Girard Tract information
The Chumash Indians were Woodland Hills’ earliest settlers. When the first white men rode in with the Portola Expedition
in 1769 to explore the beautiful hills and valleys, they encountered the Indians and called the area the Valley of the
Oaks.
It was in this area that the treaty was signed to end the Mexican War and the way was cleared for California to be
admitted to the union as the 31st state.
In 1922, Girard and Boulevard Land Company purchased 2,886 acres, which was subdivided into 6,000 lots. Girard sold
thousands of small lots to families in a farming area where 80 acre parcels had more typically been sold. In an effort to
lure families to the far west end of the valley, Girard planted groves of eucalyptus, cypress, acacias, peppers and
Monterey pines. He started a country club, a stable, a city newspaper and erected a ‘business district’ - rows of stores
with false fronts - to convey the impression of a flourishing economy.
Later, in an attempt to hold off bankruptcy and his creditors, Girard attached liens to all the property he sold without
informing the buyers. With the country in the throes of the Depression, Girard's super community crumbled. Despite the
forlorn economic state of Woodland Hills, in which only 75 families remained, the town survived. Large family landholders
moved in, including Harry Warner of Warner Brothers Pictures.
In 1941, residents of the community banded together to improve the community's image and rename it Woodland Hills.
This was the origin of the Woodland Hills Chamber of Commerce.
Originally acquiring land to breed thoroughbred horses, Warner eventually owned 1,100 acres. When Warner liquidated
much of his real estate holdings in the 1980s, a number of large corporations bought and developed portions of the
master planned business development that was to become known as Warner Center.
With Warner Center still at the core of the business district, Woodland Hills enjoys a strong financial establishment, an
upscale residential base, the finest health care, outstanding retail and restaurant facilities, excellent educational
institutions, and recreational opportunities without equal - all in beautiful Southern California.
