Calabasas is located in the hills west of the San Fernando Valley in the northwest Santa Monica Mountains. The Chumash Indians were the first to settle in this picturesque region; abundant with wildlife; water; and shady oak trees. The early years of Calabasas offer a colorful history full of buried treasure; cattle and sheep ranches; stagecoaching; ghost sightings; and some of Southern California�s roughest and toughest residents. Between the 1920s and 1970s; countless films and television episodes were filmed in the west San Fernando Valley area alone. It was a time when Westerns ruled the scene; and the studios bought up huge tracts of underdeveloped acreage in the hills around Calabasas to serve as movie ranches. Today; Calabasas is primarily a city of master-planned communities that are home to over 23;000 residents; including many of Hollywood�s rich and famous. In banning secondhand smoke; plastic bags; and Styrofoam; Calabasas has been on the forefront of enacting environmental stewardship to preserve its historical roots and protect its open spaces.
