Woodland Hills Ca History

Harry S. Truman was president, Southern California was dotted with orange and walnut groves, and brush-clearance in the San Fernando Valley meant letting sheep from local ranches graze the hills. The year was 1948, and a handful of Woodland Hills women who played bridge together decided to chip in about $50 each to buy a bit of land on Comercio Way for their new women's club.
