Sylmar (the Los Angeles metropolitan area) Show map of the Los Angeles metropolitan areaCoordinates::Sylmar is a neighborhood in the region of. Historically known for its profusion of olive orchards, Sylmar can trace its past to the 18th century and the founding of the. In 1890 olive production was begun in a systematic manner. The Sylmar climate was also considered healthy, and so a sanitarium was established, the first in a series of hospitals in the neighborhood.
There are fourteen public and eight private schools within Sylmar. Contents.Population The population of the Sylmar area was roughly 3,500 in 1940, 10,000 in 1950, 31,000 in 1962, 40,000 in 1972, 41,922 in 1980 and 53,392 in 1986. By 2000, a 'wave of immigrants and working poor' had enveloped Sylmar, and, resulting in a housing shortage for lower-income people. The 2000 U.S. Census counted 69,499 residents in the 12.46-square-mile Sylmar neighborhood—or 5,579 people per square mile, among the lowest for the city.
In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 79,614. In 2009, the Sylmar Chamber of Commerce estimated that the population was approximately 90,000 residents.In 1980 Sylmar was predominantly white, the ethnic breakdown being 58% white and 36% Latino. Twenty years later, in 2000, the neighborhood was considered 'moderately diverse' ethnically within Los Angeles, with a relatively high percentage of Latinos. The breakdown in 2000 was, 69.8%;, 20.7%;, 4.1%;, 3.4%, and others, 2.0%. Mexico (71.7%) and El Salvador (8.4%) were the most common places of birth for the 36.7% of the residents who were born abroad—an average figure for Los Angeles.
In 2000 the median age for residents was 28, considered young for city and county neighborhoods.In 2000, renters occupied 29.2% of the housing stock, and house- or apartment-owners held 70.8%. The average household size of 3.6 people was considered high for Los Angeles.
The percentage of married women (55.5%) was among the county's highest. There were 3,607 veterans, or 7.7% of the population, average for the city of Los Angeles and the county.A study by four graduate students from the in 2005 stated that:Sylmar in the 1970s and 1980s was a rural, predominantly white, non-Hispanic community, whose residents focused on creating a place centered around equestrian activities. Today, the dramatic influx of residents has serious consequences for a community that has too little housing stock, too few employment opportunities, overburdened public facilities and decaying public systems.The median yearly household income in 2008 dollars was $65,783, considered average for the city.
History Naming San Fernando became a city in 1874, leading to the naming of the surrounding San Fernando as Morningside. In 1893 the area was named Sylmar, a fusion of the Latin words for Sea of Trees.Around 2000, some local residents proposed a plan to rename the northwest portion of the district as Rancho Cascades. The name change was approved in 2018.Sylmar has been 'The Top of Los Angeles.'
Olives The of the at the north slope of the San Fernando Valley were seen as 'an unattractive and apparently worthless waste' before 2,000 acres of them were in the late 1890s by the Los Angeles Olive Growers Association. One observer recalled that the land had been 'a mass of ill-looking and ' before it was planted with olives. Advertising for Sylmar olives on, 1939In 1893, a group of businessmen purchased from the trustees of the either 1,000 or 2,000 acres (the sources differ) east of the railroad tracks on just south of Roxford Street and in 1894 began planting olives trees on up to 1,700 acres.
Experts were brought from France to supervise the work. Calling themselves the Los Angeles Olive Growers Association (in 1898 C.O. (Paul) Milltimore was the president and George L. Arnold the secretary), they built a packing plant and sold olives under the Tyler Olives label, later changing to the Sylmar Packing label. Sylmar's olives became noted throughout the state for sweetness and purity. Chinese pickers were hired to harvest the crops, and up to 800 U.S.
Gallons (3,000 L) of olive oil a day were produced. The pickling plant was located on the corner of Roxford Street. By March 1898 about 200,000 trees had been planted, and by 1906 the property had become the largest olive grove in the world.One source stated in 1981 that it was the 'Fusano family' who built a headquarters building for the olive association on Roxford and San Fernando in 1902 and that the first packing plant was built in 1909.
The trees began bearing fruit in 1912. The first groves were planted with, and olives. Some and varieties were planted for extra-large fruit.During the season in the early 1900s, an extra force of 300 Japanese was employed and housed in a village of tents.
![]()
In 1927 the, which had been built in 1910, employed some five hundred workers during its busiest season, November through January. The oil was pressed from the fruit, allowed to separate from the fruit's water content, then drawn into 12,000-gallon concrete tanks lined with glass and set deep into the ground to avoid a change in temperature. Over time, the plant expanded its activities, bringing in, and rind from the for processing.In 1904 the Sylmar brand olive oil won first place at the, St, Louis, Missouri, in 1906 at the, Portland, Oregon, and in 1915 at the in San Francisco.In 1922, the controlling interest in the Los Angeles Olive Growers' Association, which had been held by the estate of F.D. Butterfield (Charlotte M. Butterfied, the heir), was bought by Charles C.
Moore of San Francisco, and its name was changed to Sylmar Packing Corporation. The management remained with Frank Simonds, who was president of the association. At that time there were 140,000 trees on the property.Some of the olive trees were still growing in Sylmar decades after they were planted. In 1963 twenty-five mature olive trees were removed from the site of the Sylmar Juvenile Hall, then under construction (below), to be planted at, an entertainment center in Van Nuys. Disasters and mishaps 1971 earthquake. Main article:At 6:01 a.m.
On February 9, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit the Sylmar area on a located below the neighborhood. Known as the or the Sylmar earthquake, it caused 58 deaths and more than $500 million in damage. Three people died at the, including two patients on life-support systems that failed when auxiliary generators did not start. The third was an ambulance driver who was crushed by a falling wall.
A hospital building sank a foot into the ground. About 600 patients were evacuated, 200 of them into a parking lot. A was jolted off its foundation and collapsed. The Sylmar juvenile hall was severely damaged. One of its buildings sank 'almost to the ceiling.'
Two weeks later, normalcy had returned to many in the, but in Sylmar, according to The New York Times,The community looks like a battlefield. Dozens of houses are twisted beyond repair. Families camp out in tents or trailers on front lawns, afraid to return even to those houses not condemned. All homes have been without water for drinking, cooking and flushing toilets, although some service has been restored in the last few days. There is no gas, no heat.
Telephones are still out. Housewives must travel out of the community to find grocery stores that are still open. On top of that, Sylmar feels that it has been forgotten.Portable toilets were placed on street corners. Water was distributed to residents via taps attached to huge of the.
Many residents moved away from Sylmar, either from fear of more earthquakes or because their homes were destroyed. People bathed in the.
Streets were buckled like, with fissures as much as a foot wide. On February 21, 1971, a rally of 1,500 people was held at a baseball field to demand help from the government. Some government assistance and loans were indeed given to aid residents and to help rebuild.
1971 explosion Four months after the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, a gas explosion in a water tunnel being drilled beneath Sylmar killed 17 workers on June 24. It was the worst tunnel disaster in California history, and it resulted in the state adopting the toughest mining and tunnel regulations in the nation and the establishment of its occupational safety division, commonly known as Cal/OSHA. The incident resulted in a 54-week criminal trial against the Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company — the longest trial in U.S. The result was some of the highest municipal fines and greatest civil damage awards of that era.
Nineteen Los Angeles firefighters were awarded the Medal of Valor for their work that day, a record for a single incident. A worker named Ralph Brisset, 33, was the only survivor.The 22-foot-diameter, 5-mile-long, $19.3 million tunnel was being constructed as part of the, which carries water from the through the to. 1994 earthquake. The remains of the Oakridge mobile home park in Sylmar. 480 of the park's 600 mobile homes were burned in the 2008. The homes in the background that did not sustain fire damage became uninhabitable due to the lack of utilities.The Sayre Fire was a November 2008 wildfire that resulted in the loss of 489 residences in or near Sylmar, the 'worst loss of homes due to fire' in Los Angeles's history. The fire was first reported at 10:29 p.m.
On November 14, 2008. It was not contained until November 20, 2008, and by then it had burned 11,262 acres (46 km 2) and destroyed more than 600 structures: 480 mobile homes, nine single-family homes, 104 outbuildings and 10 commercial buildings. Numerous schools in the area were closed during and for a few days following the fire, with air quality and other concerns being cited.
Five firefighters and one civilian suffered minor injuries. Crime Sylmar is serviced by the Mission Community Police Station of the.Drugs Tipped off by a Sylmar resident, dozens of investigators from at least five police departments and three federal agencies raided a at 12898 Bradley Street, on September 29, 1989, and seized some 21.4 tons of and $10 million in cash. It was the largest confiscation of the drug in the world's history, estimated at $6.9 billion, enough for 1.38 billion doses.
Three men were convicted on drug charges in 1990. Carlos Tapia Ponce, the warehouse manager, was given a life term, and in 2016 he died in prison at the age of 94. Other culprits were convicted later.
Drag races and automobile cruising Illegal and troubled Sylmar for many years. In 1988, officers arrested a man who pointed a high-powered spotlight at a police helicopter monitoring one of them on San Fernando Road near Roxford Street. In 1993 it was reported that drag racing had been going on since the early 1970s, drawing hundreds of youths, and that the most popular 'speed strip' was San Fernando Road near Balboa Boulevard.' There had been four deaths within the previous two years.
In one, a speeding to the site rear-ended a car carrying a family of four, killing a mother and injuring her husband and two children. In 1997 Kenneth Acosta, 21, of Sylmar was charged with after a drag race on the resulted in an accident that caused the deaths of three people, all of them former members of the band. He was granted and required to spend 250 hours talking to others about his crime.In 1994, city officials declared one of the most popular cruising spots in the San Fernando Valley – La Rinda Plaza at and Workman Street – to be a and ordered its owners to install overhead lighting, post security guards and install gates that could be closed at night. Other In 1991, the Sylmar area led the northeast Valley communities (which includes, and ) in residential burglaries and thefts from motor vehicles. Topography and climate Sylmar is generally flat with steep hills of the San Gabriel Mountains to the northeast.The Valley shares the Los Angeles Basin's dry, sunny weather, with only 17 inches (430 mm) annual precipitation on average. Snow in the San Fernando Valley is extremely rare, though the neighboring Angeles National Forest is capped with snow every winter.Although Sylmar is only 20 miles (32 km) from the Pacific Ocean, the Valley can be considerably hotter than the Los Angeles Basin during the summer months and cooler during the winter months. The average high temperature in summer is 95 °F (35 °C), dropping down to 68 °F (20 °C).
In winter, the average high is 66 °F (19 °C) and average low is 40 °F (4 °C). Geography Situation Sylmar touches the unincorporated on the north, Lopez and Kagel canyons on the east, on the southeast, on the south, and on the southwest and west. Land use Prewar The plan of the Olive Growers association in 1898 was to divide the area into 40-acre blocks bounded by 'broad drives,' and within them five-acre blocks would be laid out, 'each one of which is upon a street.' About a hundred trees would be planted on each acre.
Half of these lands were placed on the market in 1897-98 at $350 an acre, with a minimum purchase of five acres. The terms were $350 in cash and $350 a year until paid for. The Olive Growers group would take care of the groves and, 'When the premises are turned over to the purchaser at the end of four years, it is an established, profit-yielding property, without incumbrance.' There is no record as to the results of this plan.In 1922 the Taft Realty Company of Hollywood purchased 300 acres from Ben F. Porter and divided them into tracts containing one to fifteen acres each, which it planned to make into a townsite called Sylmar.
Part of the acreage contained orange and lemon trees, and the rest had been used by the Ryan Wholesale and Produce Company for garden. The land lay directly across the from the Sylmar olive grove and packing plant. A later advertisement stated the name of the subdivision as 'Sylmar Acres,' with 'city lots' selling for $450 to $550.The property of the Sylmar Packing Corporation, with frontage of more than 4.5 miles on Foothill Boulevard, was offered for sale in October 1938. At that time it was planted in olives, lemons, oranges and figs.
A forty-acre section was to be set aside for a new townsite called Olive View and the rest subdivided into five- and ten-acre farm lots, with many streets already paved and installed. In the same month, manufacturer and landowner John R. Stetson announced his 200-acre property adjoining the Sylmar ranch would also be divided and offered for sale. Postwar A May 1962 proposal by the city Planning Department for an increase in density was met with disapproval by residents at a community meeting. The city's master plan for the area called for much of the agricultural land to be converted to suburban uses, plus zoning that would permit more apartments.
There would also be expansion of industrial districts and more. The plan proposed that the 4,500 acres then zoned for agriculture be reduced to 2,000, or 17% of the area.
City officials said that Sylmar had been the slowest of all San Fernando Valley communities to develop its areas, with permits issued for only 35 units in 1961 and 70 units in 1962.Sylmar's major growth came after the 1963 completion of the between the and freeways and the 1981 completion of the and freeways, both of which made the community easier to reach.In 1971 city planners presented a land-use document that would preserve Sylmar's image as one of 'houses, horses and orchards' and would roll back the then-existing projection from 90,000 residents by 1990 to 53,500. The population actually reached 53,392 in 1986.A proposal in 1980 to build an 80-unit low-income housing project near at 13080-90 Dronfield Avenue was rejected by the Los Angeles City Housing Commission after eight thousand signatures were gathered against the plan and protesters filled a hearing in the high school auditorium.In 1984 Sylmar was still largely rural, but there was an area of industrial development in its southeastern portion. In 1986, when its population was given 53,392, it still had some of the last large tracts of undeveloped land in the city, and the opening of the had placed it within a 45-minute drive of.
Despite the population increase and a rise in the number of people living in condos and apartments, it was still one of the least-crowded areas of the city. Between 1980 and 1990 it was the fastest-growing area in the: Its population increased by 30.7% during those ten years in which the Valley itself grew by only 12.2%.Reopening of the in 1986 was seen as an impetus to population and business growth, as well as a threat to the horse-owning community. Practically every corner on had been purchased for development, and a 109-room hotel was planned at Roxford Street, a block from the hospital. 'We are bound to be concerned any time you start bringing sick people, mentally ill people, indigent people into our community,' said one community activist.
'We welcome the hospital, but that doesn't mean we are going to sit back and let the influx of people change our.' By 2006 Sylmar's open spaces were being rapidly subdivided. Resident Bart Reed noted that Sylmar was the last place in Los Angeles 'where a builder can find a on half an. They can tear them down and build 52 homes' in their place.
Longtime residents were concerned that the expansion would threaten their lifestyle in a community that still retained a largely rural atmosphere with on large lots and horse trails that wound into the nearby. Institutions Sylmar has been the site of several public institutions.Olive View Hospital. Main article: Construction Plans for a 'tubercular home' to be established on a 414-acre or 453-acre Sylmar ranch purchased from John T. Wilson for $12,300 were announced in 1917. The hospital was to be jointly funded by, and counties, but this proposal for joint use was later abandoned.Olive View Hospital was operated as a branch of the, and the was built at an altitude of 1,700 feet; its property included not only 'some picturesque canyons' but also sixty acres of level land 'that will be well adapted for fruits, gardening and extensive,' whose purpose would be 'to give some employment to patients who are able to work, this being considered a beneficial factor in their treatment.'
Preparations for the construction, estimated to cost about $250,000, included of the foothills. A contemporary newspaper account noted that 'Right through the grounds. Passes the great pipe line of the.
Near at hand is also the pipe line for from the fields, and overhead runs the transmission line for the.' Fire and earthquake In 1962, fire rushed down and destroyed all the clinics, a dental suite and some other buildings. By 1965, plans were under way to improve the campus with $20 million in new construction. In 1967 the construction cost had risen to $23 million for the six-story facility, which was planned to be the largest treatment center for west of the.
The hospital, which also housed a 30-bed, opened in October 1970.On February 8, 1971, the new hospital was destroyed by earthquake (above) 'It was like a bombshell scoring a direct hit,' said a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Engineer's office. Two patients and an employee died. Work to rebuild the hospital began but was halted for a time in June 1978 after California voters passed, which sharply limited the amount of money that could be assessed by local communities.
Eventually, the new $120 million hospital was completed, and it was opened in May 1987. Name change The hospital was renamed Olive View–UCLA Medical Center on May 19, 1992, in recognition of its affiliation with the, which included the. El Retiro School for Girls. Main article:El Retiro School for Girls was a for girls who had been made of the Los Angeles County court system. It opened in 1919 and closed in 1961.Juvenile hall Construction In 1960, the Probation Department's proposal to build a branch on the north side of between Filbert and Yarnell streets brought opposition from more than a thousand Sylmar residents, who were supported by the Sylmar Civic Association. The county purchased three acres of the property needed but had to resort to a suit against landowners Samuel and Eva DeRose for an additional 27.5 acres of a former before a settlement was reached in August 1962.
For the project on June 5, 1963. The first was housed in the completed $5 million project at 15900 Filbert Street on July 6, 1965. Overcrowding Within a year after its opening, the facility was vastly overcrowded, as more than thirty children were forced to sleep on floors. The facility had been built with a maximum capacity of 411 beds and it had been designed so that each child would have a private room, but in March 1966 there were 443 in residence; Superintendent Milner M.
Clary said the place was 'hanging on the ropes,' suffering a 'buildup of tensions, a loss of classroom time and curtailed recreation.' In 1990 the place had enough private rooms for 393 youths but hundreds more had to sleep in open day rooms, which were also used for eating, relaxing and watching television. Silence was often enforced, and officers kept watch for signs of identification. Clothes were taken away at night to prevent escape or suicide attempts. Escapes Although Superintendent Clary said in April 1965 that the risk of juveniles escaping was minimal, just a year later a sergeant complained that 'too many boys are getting out.'
In one incident, four boys went over a 14-foot wall and a dozen officers had to spend time rounding them up. From twelve to forty children escaped from the campus during the first year of its operation.
In the, 106 of the 305 youths in the facility escaped during evacuation of the buildings, which were severely damaged. Government and infrastructure Local government In 1943 Sylmar volunteers, with cooperation from the city fire department, established their own branch station at 15097 Roxford Street, principally because Sylmar at that time was separated from other stations by railroad tracks.Today, the operates Fire Station 91 in Sylmar.

Students entering the MSTP join a first-year class of approximately 160 students at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The medical school curriculum is divided into two distinct parts: the first two years (MD1, MD2) comprise a largely didactic introduction to clinical medicine and the last two years involve a series of clinical clerkships in a variety of clinical settings. Detailed descriptions of each part of the curriculum can be found at the following links:,. MD1-MD2The curriculum during the first two years is ideal for MSTP students because it consists of a problem-based learning approach that integrates basic science and clinical medicine, including direct exposure to patient care. Each week begins with a small Problem-Based Learning (PBL) session in which 8 students work with a faculty member to try to solve a clinical case.

The rest of the week is devoted to lectures, workshops and laboratories addressing topics relevant to the case. Students meet again on Friday morning in their PBL group to solve the clinical case using the knowledge acquired during the week. Contact time is typically limited to 24 hrs each week to allow time for independent study and electives. The significant free time built into the curriculum allows MSTP students to explore different research laboratories by meeting with faculty, attending group meetings or journal clubs, and even by performing research rotations during the academic year.The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is graded on a pass-fail system. Students monitor their progress with weekly online self-assessments and take a final pass-fail exam at the end of each curricular block. At the conclusion of the second year, all students take the first part of their medical boards (United States Medical Licensing Exam, USMLE).

Satisfactory completion of the first two years of medical school and passing USMLE Step 1 is required prior to embarking on the of their training.A variety of opportunities and experiences are available for MSTP students to stay involved in clinical activities while they are in graduate school. Once students have completed their PhD research and have filed their PhD dissertation, they return to the third year of medical school. The MSTP provides a two-week clinical refresher course in which returning students participate as unevaluated members of an inpatient medicine team and engage in an intensive course on physical examination and history-taking. Students then join the MD3 medical school class in a week-long Clinical Foundations course, which provides an introduction to clinical training during the third and fourth years of medical school. MD3The third year of medical school consists of 48 weeks of: Inpatient Medicine (8 weeks), Ambulatory Internal and Family Practice Medicine (8 weeks), Pediatrics (6 weeks), Obstetrics & Gynecology (6 weeks), Surgery/Anesthesiology/Ophthalmology (12 weeks) and Neurology/Psychiatry (8 weeks). Clerkships can be done in a wide variety of clinical settings, each of which serves a distinct clinical population.
These include the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, a tertiary- and quaternary-care hospital; the UCLA-Santa Monica Medical Center, a more community-based hospital; Olive View and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, both of which are county hospitals serving indigent, uninsured populations; Cedars Sinai Medical Center, a private hospital serving an insured population; Kaiser Permanente, one of the country’s oldest non-profit Health Maintenance Organizations; and the West Los Angeles and Sepulveda Veteran’s Administration Medical Centers. MD4At the beginning of the fourth year of medical school, students join one of the “,” each of which provides education, mentorship and guidance within specific career pathways.

The four Colleges are: Acute Care (careers in emergency medicine, anesthesia and critical care specialties); Applied Anatomy (careers in surgical specialties, obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, radiation oncology, ophthalmology and pathology); Academic Medicine (careers that will include research, although MSTP students are free to join other Colleges that fit their interests); and Primary Care (careers in internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology and psychiatry). The Colleges meet for a week at the beginning of the fourth year, and then approximately once a month in an informal setting, such as dinner at a professor’s home.Students have significant freedom in designing their fourth year curriculum, choosing a variety of elective rotations, sub-internships, “away” rotations at other institutions (e.g. At programs where they may be interested in doing their residency training), as well as clinical rotations abroad. Six weeks may be devoted to a research rotation, which MSTP students can use to explore new types of research, or to complete research projects in their PhD labs. In addition, students can design clerkships that integrate clinical and research activities, such as a dermatology clerkship that consists of mornings in the clinic and afternoons in the laboratory. The fourth year must include 30 weeks of clerkships, 24 of which must include significant clinical activities in order to meet the California State M.D. Licensure requirement of 72 weeks of clinical clerkships during medical school.During the fourth year, students also apply to residency programs.
The Fourth Year College, the School of Medicine, and the MSTP provide guidance in this process.
