Santa Susana is a former railroad town located mostly within the City of Simi Valley and partly in the neighboring Los Angeles neighborhood of Chatsworth. A small portion of the community, outside the Simi Valley city limits to the south of the Ventura County Metrolink rail line, is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Santa Susana CDP and Simi Valley city as shown in TIGERweb )〕 The community is in the eastern part of the Simi Valley and on the western part of Chatsworth, Los Angeles, surrounding the Santa Susana Mountains. With 87.2 % identifying as being Caucasian in the 2010 U.S. Census, the Santa Susana CDP has the fifth highest percentage of white residents in Los Angeles County. The town by the Santa Susana Mountains in the Simi Valley was founded in 1903, shortly after the Southern Pacific Company built the Santa Susana Depot.〔Appleton, Bill (2009).

ISBN 9780897813631.〕 It is also spelled Santa Susanna, while it is currently more commonly referred to as the Santa Susana Knolls, which is the officially designated name,〔Appleton, Bill (2009). ''Images of America: Santa Susana. Arcadia Publishing''. Page 97. ISBN 9780738570495.〕 or the Simi Knolls. The name of Santa Susana is now more generally applied to a larger area at the very east end of the Simi Valley (often called east of East Simi Valley) in easternmost Ventura County, which was the name of the early settlement located at Tapo Street and East Los Angeles Avenue that is now within the city limits. The historic Santa Susana Depot was located there before being moved farther east along the coast route railroad and made into a museum. The Simi Valley train station opened in 1993 about midway between the historic site and the museum location next to Santa Susana Knolls. The 2010 United States census reported the Santa Susana CDP's population as 1,037. It is a sparsely populated rural area with rustic housing and no set-houses, in a hilly and relatively forested part of the valley. The area was inhabited by the Chumash Indians as early as 500 AD and there have been numerous Chumash artifacts found in the area, in addition to the pictographs in Burro Flats Painted Cave.〔Appleton, Bill (2009). ''Images of America: Santa Susana''. Arcadia Publishing. Pages 7 and 11. ISBN 9780738570495.〕 In the 1920s, the Knolls became home to brothels and also a religious cult. It was also here that Charles Manson and the Manson Family partially lived during the late 1960s.〔http://www.simivalleyacorn.com/news/2004-09-03/community/007.html〕〔Mitchell, Robert and Hannah (2015).

ISBN 9781490881980.〕 During the 1950s and '60s, the Corriganville Movie Ranch and other areas was utilized as movie sets for Western movies. Films and TV-series filmed here includes ''Gunsmoke'', ''Bonanza'', ''The Lone Ranger'', ''Adventures of Superman'', ''The Adventures of Robin Hood'' (1938), ''The Three Musketeers'', ''Tales of the Texas Rangers'', ''Billy the Kid Versus Dracula'', ''Fort Apache'', ''Star Trek'', ''Wagon Train'', and hundreds of other mostly Western-inspired movies and TV-shows.〔http://www.imdb.com/search/title?locations=Corriganville,%20Ray%20Corrigan%20Ranch,%20Simi%20Valley,%20California,%20USA&ref_=ttloc_loc_9&start=1〕〔Appleton, Bill (2009). ''Images of America: Santa Susana''. Arcadia Publishing. Pages 97-107. ISBN 9780738570495.〕 The rural Santa Susana is home to numerous species of native wildlife, including large amounts of snakes, coyotes, hawks and mountain lions.〔http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/06/24/52645/mountain-lion-kittens-spotted-feeding-in-santa-sus/〕〔Johnson, John R. 1997.

ISBN 978-0965944212.〕 == Etymology == The name "Santa Susana" traces back to the Roman Empire and the Santa Susanna-church built in the 4th century, dedicated to Saint Susanna, a Roman Catholic saint that was martyred and beheaded in Rome in the 3rd century. The name has since then been applied to numerous locations, including a town in the Catalonia region of Spain, as well as the transverse mountain range of Santa Susana in Southern California, which the town is named after. The Santa Susana Knolls of Simi Valley have historically also been written Susanna with double N's.〔 Former names designed to the area have been Green Haven and Mortimer Park.〔 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「Santa Susana, California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
