Fostering Youth Independence launched its year-end giving campaign ahead of Giving Tuesday on December 2—donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $35,000 to support foster youth aging out of the L.A.

On November 29th, 1957 the Mint Canyon Chamber of Commerce incorporated to serve as the leading voice for eastern Santa Clarita’s business community amid local borough rivalry.

Its formation marked a turning point in the valley's growth and traditions—its legacy remains a key part of our local history.

A new searchable archive of Santa Clarita Valley history in pictures and text is now available, offering residents a look at local landmarks—such as Saugus cafés, schools and train robberies—from the 1890s to modern times.

The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation opened the new Riparian Park at 27842 Riparian Ave. in Stevenson Ranch on Nov.
