FABULOUS SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
Campo de Cahuenga – Site of the most important historic
landmark West of the Mississippi. Here is where the final
act of the dramatic Conquest of California was staged
and it marked the completion of the development of the
United States westward. It was here, that these events
took place which meant that the United States was to
possess not only California but also the territory which now
is Nevada, Utah, Arizona and parts of New Mexico,
Colorado and Wyoming. Early in January 1847 the Treaty
of Cahuenga was signed by General Andres Pico, the last
California governor under Mexican rule, and Lieutenant
Colonel John C. Fremont in command of the California
Volunteer Battalions. That treaty signified the abandon-
ment by Mexico of all the vast western territory referred
to above.
