Recent reversion
I reverted this: In 1909 the Suburban Homes Company, a syndicate led by H. J. Whitley, general manager of the Board of Control, along with Harry Chandler, H. G. Otis, M. H. Sherman and O. F. Brandt purchased 48,000 acres of the Farming and Milling Company for $2,500,000. [1] Henry E. Huntington, extended his Pacific Electric Railway (Red Cars) through the Valley to Owensmouth (now Canoga Park). The Suburban Home Company laid out plans for roads and the towns of Van Nuys, Reseda (Marian) and Canoga Park (Owensmouth). The rural areas were annexed into the city of Los Angeles in 1915.[2] [3]On April 2, 1915 H. J. Whitley purchased the Suburban Home Company so that he would have complete control for finishing the development. [4]
Whatever new information there is should be inserted into the text above where the topic is first treated. As well, the data in the last sentence looks like WP:Original research, taken from something at the UCLA library. See WP:Bold, revert, discuss. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Population centers
The current list of Population centers is arbitrary. How is Hidden Hills a population center? The following are the approximate populations (in thousands) of other communities here in the SFV. And Hidden Hills is far from the center geographically.
| Thousands | Community |
|---|---|
| 136 | Van Nuys |
| 104 | Pacoima |
| 78 | North Hollywood |
| 76 | Sun Valley |
| 70 | Panorama City |
| 63 | Woodland Hills |
| 60 | Northridge |
| 57 | North Hills |
| 41 | Chatsworth |
| 34 | Studio City |
| 25 | Porter Ranch |
| 2 | Hidden Hills |
The preceding is not complete; it is the communities I could remenber. Sam Tomato (talk) 20:18, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Adult industry
Chatsworth and the SFV in general are considered to be the Adult Entertainment center of the world. I do not know what to use as the authority for that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Tomato (talk • contribs) 20:26, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Demographics
Either I do not understand the authority (American Fact-Finder results for San Fernando Valley CCD, Los Angeles County, California) used for demographics or the person posting that authority does not understand. As best as I understand that, everything for race (the Race subject) is for households, not persons. Regardless of whether Race counts people or households, under One race, White is 64% and I do not see any Hispanic under One race. I was going to revise the data with 2017 data but I think the relevant data is of households, not people. Sam Tomato (talk) 17:08, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
