SUNLAND-TUJUNGA is probably best known around the world as
the place where a space alien landed and was befriended by a young
boy named Elliot in Steven Spielberg's blockbuster 1982 film, ET,
the Extraterrestrial.
The community is located in the foothills of the San
Gabriel Mountains, about 14 miles north of the Los Angeles civic
center. Generally thought to be a part of the San Fernando Valley,
Sunland-Tujunga is actually located in a valley of its own
the Tujunga Valley which opens into the northern edge of
the larger San Fernando Valley.
The Tujunga Valley is about six miles long and two
miles wide. Consisting mostly of ranch land and orchards at the
turn of the last century, much of the area is now filled with single
family residences mixed with pockets of low-rise apartment and condominium
buildings, though remnants of the orchards and ranches still stand.
Commercial development consists primarily of smaller retail businesses
located along the Foothill Boulevard corridor from the Lowell Avenue
city limits on the east to the Foothill Freeway on the west. (exerpt
