Encino

Meer over het boek

The history of Encino reveals a rich tapestry of ownership, beginning with Native American tribes and transitioning through Spanish, French, Basque, and American influences. Following World War II, it transformed into a wealthy community for Hollywood stars. Central to its history is an artesian spring, a gathering place for the Fernandeno, Tongva, and Chumash tribes, noted in Fr. Juan Crespi's 1769 diary. Today, this spring remains a feature of Los Encinos State Historic Park, with the area's name reflecting its abundant oak groves.
