• ABOUT GTLNC
• The City of Los Angeles organized a program of neighborhood groups (councils) whose purpose is to interact between local neighborhoods, residents and City government.
• The Greater Toluca Lake Neighborhood Council (GTLNC) was certified by the City of Los Angeles in September 2002 and has been active ever since.
• The boundaries of our neighborhood council include Toluca Woods, Toluca Terrace, West Toluca Lake, and of course, Toluca Lake.
• The Greater Toluca Lake Neighborhood Council holds a regular monthly board meeting to inform neighbors about what is happening in our community and to hear any concerns from our neighbors/stakeholders.
• There are monthly Committee meetings that are the first line of access for your issues or concerns.
• History of Toluca Lake
• The history of Greater Toluca Lake dates back to the 1920’s, when the first houses here were built. At the time, the city of Los Angeles
• had aldermen instead of councilmen. The local Valley aldermen picked our community, then known as “Lankershim Gardens,” in which to live.
• In this bygone era, groves of citrus trees abounded, the Tujunga Wash was an open, sandy bank, and the Red Car would take you all the
• way through the Cahuenga Pass to Long Beach for ten cents. Movie studios were springing up like mushrooms, and Universal, Warner Bros., and Walt Disney all made their homes nearby.
• Located on the southeastern edge of the San Fernando Valley, the name Toluca, which means “fertile valley,” was the name of an actual Indian village located on the Los Angeles River over 4,000 years ago. The modern community of Greater Toluca Lake takes its name from this ancient village. The village was actually a part of a larger village named Kawenga. Campo de Cahuenga, a historical site now located in Universal City, was where the treaty was signed between Mexico and California ending that war, giving America most of California.
