It opens into the San Fernando Valley at the northwest and the San Gabriel Valley at the southeast. It is nearly bisected by the Verdugo Wash, a smaller valley separating the Verdugo Mountains from the San Rafael Hills. Most of the valley lies at an elevation of over 1,500 feet (450 m). Daytime temperatures are generally 10 to 15 °F (6 to 8 °C) warmer than those in coastal regions. ==History== Crescenta Valley was a pastoral area under the Rancho Tujunga, Rancho San Rafael and Rancho La Canada land grants during the Spanish and Mexican periods. The first American settler in the valley was Theodore Pickens, who settled at the top of today's Briggs Avenue in 1871. The western portion of Rancho La Canada, which included the major portion of the valley, was subdivided in 1881 into 10-acre parcels by Dr. Benjamin B. Briggs. Significant suburban residential development began with the opening of the Montrose subdivision in 1913, accelerating significantly after World War II. Today, the Crescenta Valley is a mature suburban area. The name "Crescenta" does not derive from the Spanish word for "crescent," which is ''la creciente.'' Benjamin Briggs coined the name from the English word "crescent" because he could see three crescent-shaped formations from his home,〔Gudde, Erwin G., 1998, ''California Place Names: the Origin and Etymology of Current Geographic Names'', 4th ed. Berkeley: University of California Press〕 or because of the shape of the valley.〔Dougherty, June, 1993, ''Sources of History: La Crescenta.'' Privately printed.〕 The post office was established in 1888, with the Post Office adding the "La" to the name to distinguish it from Crescent City, California.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crescenta Valley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
