SANTA CLARITA
COMMUNITIES
 The
Santa Clarita Valley has seven distinct communities. Each makes
a special contribution to the Valley's vitality and unique
rural-urban flavor.
THE CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA
The city of Santa Clarita was incorporated December 15, 1987
with a population of 147,228 and a land area of 40 square miles,
making the largest incorporation in the history of the state.
The City is comprised of the following communities:
VALENCIA
This master-planned community was developed by The Newhall Land
& Farming Company. The area is linked by a Spanish-style
paseo system that provides easy access between homes, schools,
parks and shops.
CANYON COUNTRY
With more than 30,000 residents, Canyon Country is the most
populous community in the City of Santa Clarita. It has an
industrial hub, several neighborhood shopping plazas, and
residents who enjoy plenty of open spaces.
NEWHALL
Today's Valley can trace its origins to this community, which
took hold in 1876 along a key rail line, becoming home to miners
and oil workers. A  rough
Old West town back then, Newhall today is an elegant residential
area with hundreds of shops and restaurants-along with The
Master's College, the Disney Movie Ranch, Gene Autry's Melody
Ranch, a park and nature center, and silent film star William S.
Hart's former ranch, now a museum drawing thousands of visitors
annually.
SAUGUS
(Named for Saugus, Massachusetts, the birthplace of Henry Mayo
Newhall)
This community owes its existence to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Line and is still the home of an original station. New
residential centers, established neighborhoods, commercial and
retail centers create a self-sufficient community.
STEVENSON RANCH
This is a large 4000 acre master-planned community on our city's
West side of the 5 freeway. The Valencia Marketplace and
Stevenson Ranch Shopping Center are the newest highlight of this
fast growing and desirable community.
NORTHBRIDGE/NORTHPARK
The Northern extension of Valencia is considered one of our
city's most beautifully planned communities. The unique paseo
system, wonderful schools, and convenient shopping makes this
neighborhood complete.
BRIDGEPORT
A lake village that includes a 15-acre lake, 7000 square foot
Lake Club, elementary school, parks and playing field, paseos
and river trails. Features Cape Cod architecture.
 WESTRIDGE
The Valley's newest master-planned community features a variety
of stylized living-whether you're looking for a townhome to a
home custom built just for you, Westridge will provide its
residents with a lifestyle of uncompromising quality. Add to all
of this a championship golf course and you'll have everything
you need!
TESORO DEL
VALLE
In the hills high above the Santa Clarita Valley is the newest,
private masterplanned community conceived in the spirit of Old
California. Created to blend perfectly with the essence of its
storied history as well as take full advantage of breathtaking
views of the surrounding hills and the valley below, Tesoro del
Valle presents residents with the opportunity to have it all in
a spectacular setting. The community consists of ten villages
and 1,800 homesites. A private recreation center, with
Olympic-sized pool, resort pool and spa, tennis courts,

lot, is a part of the incredible quality of life residents will
find at Tesoro del Valle. Residents also enjoy an on-site
