Community History in Words and Pictures: San Fernando San Fernando was originally populated by Gabrielino and Tataviam Indians, the latter naming the area "Achois Comihabit," before Spanish explorers first passed through the region in 1769. Soon populated with an influx of settlers, San Fernando became known as the railroad's "gateway to the north," and with its Mediterranean climate and deep wells that provided water for irrigation, the community cultivated an abundance of vegetables and fruits, especially citrus and olives. Today, with a population of about 22,600 people, San Fernando is one of the valley's smaller communities but has retained its individuality and identity with an annual fiesta in celebration of its mission days and downtown architecture that reflects the city's longtime Mexican heritage. colapublib.org /history/sanfernando   (478 words)
