Canoga Park is a district in the western San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California , about 25 miles northwest of downtown LA. For hundreds of years the paft of the far was San Fernando Valley was home to the American Indians of both Fernandeno and Chumash tribes. It is believed to be named after Canoga, New York, which derived its name from the Native American village "Ganogeh". In the 1860s, an Australian, Albert Workman, bought 13,000 acres in this area and became a major producer of wheat. Eventually, the area's zoning was rural/agricultural and its industry was small farms involved in production of fruits, vegetables, melons, some livestock, horses, movie/television studio and stunt location work. The area was originally named Owensmouth by Los Angeles Times publisher Harrison Gray Otis due to its proximity to the Los Angeles Aqueduct that brought water from the Owens Valley . The town was founded on March 30 , 1912 , by the Janss Corporation , major developers. The lack of an independent water supply made annexation to the City of Los Angeles inevitable, and on February 26 , 1917 it joined with its larger neighbor. The name was changed to Canoga Park in 1930 . In 1955 , the Rocketdyne corporation, then a spinoff of North American Aviation , moved into the area. It became a major employer and other aerospace companies followed, including North American Aviation, Hughes Aircraft (now Boeing ), Atomics International , and Teledyne . Small machine shops and other ancillary businesses also sprang up to service the aerospace industry. In 1966 , the Topanga Plaza Shopping Mall became the first two-story indoor air-conditioned mall in the United States. Much of the western section of Canoga Park has been renamed West Hills . A portion of the eastern section has been renamed Winnetka . Most of the area is now suburban communities with small industrial areas, however some of the area is still rural; film production, stunt, equine, and feed businesses still exist. On 25 June 2005 , Canoga Park was named an All-America City . Canoga Park is mentioned on the Frank Zappa album Joe's Garage as the hometown of the main character. It is also mentioned in the songs "Can't Let Go" by Bryan Ferry and "Eat Fried Wheat (a Canoga Park jingle)" by Vycrol .
