1875) ^^ - A closer view of the San Fernando Mission and the Valley looking south, circa 1875. It was bounded on the north by Rancho San Francisco and the Santa Susana Mountains, on the west by the Simi Hills, on the east by Rancho Tujunga, and on the south by the Montañas de Portesuelo (Santa Monica Mountains).*^ In 1846, the Mexican land grant for Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando was issued by Governor Pío Pico. In 1834, the Mexican government began redistributing the mission lands.
In 1821, after the successful Mexican War of Independence from Spain, the Mission San Fernando became part of Alta California, Mexico.

(1919) ^^ - Map showing the old Spanish and Mexican ranchos of Los Angeles County. Later the Mexican land grants of Rancho El Escorpión (West Hills), Rancho Providencia and Rancho Cahuenga (Burbank), and Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando (rest of valley) were established to cover the San Fernando Valley.*^ The land trade granted Juan Francisco Reyes was similarly named Rancho Los Encinos, and was also located besides springs at the present day location of Los Encinos State Historic Park in Encino. Mission San Fernando Rey de España was established in 1797 as the 17th of the twenty-one missions. Rancho Encino was short lived, though, with the land traded so a Mission could be sited and built there. It was given to Juan Francisco Reyes who built an adobe dwelling beside a Tongva village at a natural spring. It was called Rancho Encino (present day Mission Hills on the Camino Viejo before Newhall Pass). The first Spanish land grant in the area was in the northern part of the San Fernando Valley. They had numerous settlements, and trading and hunting camps, before the Spanish arrived and took their homeland in 1797 for the Mission San Fernando Rey de España and Las Californias ranchos. The Tongva, Tataviam (north), and Chumash (west) Indians had lived and thrived in the Valley and its arroyos for over 8,000 years.
