Early History
Originally part of the San Fernando Mission established in 1797, the area was later claimed by Mexico and eventually became part of the United States. The land transitioned from cattle ranches to large-scale wheat farming in the 1870s.
In 1909, the Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company acquired the land. General Harrison Gray Otis, founder of the Los Angeles Times, bought 550 acres here. In 1915, Edgar Rice Burroughs purchased Otis’s land, creating the Tarzana Ranch, named after his famous literary character, Tarzan. By 1927, the community officially adopted the name Tarzana in Burroughs's honor.
Trivia
Portola Middle School in Tarzana was featured in the film "Thirteen." The movie "Magnolia" by Paul Thomas Anderson included scenes set in Tarzana, with a pivotal moment at the intersection of Reseda Boulevard and Sherman Way.
