Van Nuys is a district and neighborhood in the central San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California. ==History== The town was founded in 1911, and named for Isaac Newton Van Nuys, one of its developers.〔(Americassuburb.com: Timeline of Valley history )〕 It was annexed by Los Angeles on May 22, 1915, after completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, providing it with the water required for further growth. Van Nuys was the first new stop on the San Fernando Line of the Pacific Electric Railway red cars system, which boosted its early land sales and commercial success.〔 Van Nuys became the Valley's satellite Los Angeles municipal civic center, with the 1932 Art Deco Valley Municipal Building (Van Nuys City Hall), a visual landmark and Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument starting the present day Government Center complex of government services buildings.〔 In 1991 Marvin Braude, a member of the Los Angeles City Council, redesignated a 45-block area from being a part of Van Nuys to being a part of Sherman Oaks.〔Stewart, Jocelyn Y. "(Identity Crisis : Community: The decision to change the name of a 45-block area of Van Nuys to Sherman Oaks leaves junior high in an odd position. )" ''Los Angeles Times''. August 23, 1991. Retrieved on March 23, 2014.〕 This redesignated area included the community of Magnolia Woods.〔Sarkisian-Miller, Nora. "(A hideaway in Sherman Oaks )." ''Los Angeles Times''. May 7, 2006. Retrieved on March 23, 2014.〕 Some area residents had presented a petition and several original deeds that stated "Sherman Oaks" to Braude. They argued that the area was originally a part of Sherman Oaks until the 1960s, when ZIP codes labeling the area as Van Nuys were established.〔 In 2014, A "Great Streets" project was introduced by Mayor, Eric Garcetti with Van Nuys Blvd. to be redesigned between Victory Blvd. and Oxnard Street. Also, Sepulveda Blvd. was resurfaced between Victory Blvd and Oxnard Street in May 2014. A new Los Angeles County services building is under construction on the southwest corner of Van Nuys Blvd. and Saticoy Street in 2014. 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「Van Nuys, Los Angeles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
