Talk:Canoga Park, Los Angeles

Water from Colorado
The area began to subdivide the ranches after acquiring water from Colorado &mdash; can somebody explain this, please? Certainly they didn't pipe water from Colorado to California! I know that (part of) L.A.'s water supply comes from Mono Lake (with quite devastating effects on the lake's ecosystem), but from Colorado? Shouldn't that be Colorado River? And if so, when was the aequaduct or pipe to L.A. built? Lupo 13:03, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Colorado ?
Re: 2004 question at top; The 1919 annexation of Owensmouth to L.A. City (the town delayed, most other Valley cities joined in 1913 when aqueduct first opened) brought access to the city's 'Owens Valley -Los Angeles Aqueduct water.' Later (1930s) that source was no longer enough for the whole city, so a new Colorado River Aqueduct was built through Coachella Valley to bring Colorado River water in from near Parker Dam above Blythe, California. Believe it was part of overall Boulder Dam (Hoover Dam) project for flood control and water distribution to serve Nevada, Arizona, & California.---Look2See1 (talk) 22:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Needs Picture
I am marking this article as "needs picture" for obvious reasons. Can we post a screengrab of Google Maps under Fair Use? Cypher3c (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:52, 29 September 2010 (UTC).

Geography
Actual boundaries should be included. Currently describes geography by listing neighboring communities. A map on the DWP Engineering website shows the boundaries as De Soto Blvd on the east, Vanowen Street on the south, Shoup Ave and Topanga on the west, Roscoe Blvd and Nordoff Street on the north. http://empowerla.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Canoga-Park-Neigborhood-Council-Map.pdf Ammobox (talk) 02:07, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Good idea! I always struggle to find a map of Canoga Park, putting one on Wikipedia would really help.Bunnyisgreat (talk) 02:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)Bunnyisgreat

Picture
The Platt Building is pictured and is located in Reseda according to google maps. Is it not in Canoga Park and should be removed. Ammobox (talk) 02:07, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Image-Platt Building
This building is located in Winnetka, not Canoga Park. Imveracious (talk) 17:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The Platt building isn't even located right next to Canoga Park-Winnteka border like the description implies. The Platt building is right next to the border of Winnetka-Reseda, which is a mile away from where the Canoga Park-Winnetka border is. Busition (talk) 14:44, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Canoga park
Canoga park is a city in los Angeles county. I know i grew up there. Its a city not a neighborhood!!! 65.129.148.101 (talk) 13:08, 17 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry to burst your bubble, but Canoga Park is NOT a city like Burbank or San Fernando...it is not incorporated as a city....it is officially a part of and administered by the City of Los Angeles. It's a neighborhood....just like the entire Valley (except for San Fernando and Burbank). 2603:8000:1701:FC59:9D9E:A331:928C:4693 (talk) 07:52, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Nice you had a strong sense of community growing up. This designation is about local government that provides services that kids don't pay a lot of attention to. Fettlemap (talk) 13:24, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Owensmouth into Canoga Park, Los Angeles
First off, "Owensmouth" is the wrong title. Article should be "Owensmouth, California", which already redirects to Canoga Park because the community of Owensmouth was renamed to Canoga Park  pbp 20:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose merge. Owensmouth is a notable in its own right. We have several articles about the "prequel" places, such as Mission Acres (now San Fernando), Lankershim (now North Hollywood), Tropico (now Burbank), and so on. I do agree it should be moved to Owensmouth, California. jengod (talk) 22:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
