About San Fernando
Welcome to the City of San Fernando—where history, culture, and community come together.
As you arrive along the scenic, palm-lined Brand Boulevard, you're stepping into a city with nearly two centuries of California heritage. Named for a Spanish saint and king, San Fernando was one of the earliest settled communities in the region, rooted in the legacy of the Mission San Fernando Rey de España. Its iconic archways still stand today, offering a glimpse into the city’s storied past.
A City That Honors Its Roots While Moving Forward
What began as farmland and ranchland surrounding the Mission has grown into a thriving center of commerce and creativity. Framed by sweeping views of the San Gabriel foothills, San Fernando delivers the best of both worlds: small-town charm and close-knit neighborhoods, paired with unmatched convenience. Downtown Los Angeles and other major hubs are just minutes away, with easy access to freeways and airports.
Community-Powered, Business-Friendly, and Proudly Independent
San Fernando blends modern amenities with a strong spirit of civic pride. Visitors and businesses alike appreciate the city’s responsive public services, accessible local leadership, skilled workforce, and business-friendly advantages—including a lower tax rate than Los Angeles and no utility tax. It’s a welcoming place to live, work, visit, and invest.
