History
The San Fernando Valley has been inhabited by the Chumash and Tongva for thousands of years. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to set foot on the land. In 1770, an expedition headed by Gaspar de Portolá crossed the area while returning to Mexico from Northern California. In 1776, a northbound party of explorers led by Juan Bautista de Anza camped there on its way from Mexico.{{cite web |title=Calabasas History |url=https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/our-city/about-us/history |website=City of Calabasas |access-date=August 19, 2020}}
Calabasas was the name given to a ranchería in the Los Angeles area in 1795. The Leonis Adobe, in Old Town Calabasas, dates back to 1844 and is one of the oldest existing buildings in greater Los Angeles.{{Cite web|url=http://you-are-here.com/building/leonis_adobe.html|title=Espiritu and Miguel Leonis Adobe in Calabasas - California|website=you-are-here.com|access-date=December 21, 2007|archive-date=May 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511042149/http://you-are-here.com/building/leonis_adobe.html|url-status=dead}}{{r|LAM -10-2018}} The city was incorporated on April 5, 1991, making it the newest city in Los Angeles County.{{cite web |title=Cities within the County of Los Angeles |url=http://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/lac/1043530_09-10CitiesAlpha.pdf |website=Lacounty.gov |access-date=December 11, 2020}}
Geography
Calabasas is situated in the southwestern region of the San Fernando Valley, between the foothills of the Santa Monica and Santa Susana mountains.

Government
City policies are enacted by a five-member city council. Council members serve overlapping four-year terms and are elected at-large, on a non-partisan basis. Each year, the council selects one of its members to act as mayor and preside over city council meetings; a mayor pro tempore is also selected at this time, to serve for one year, concurrent to the mayoral term. While the mayor has additional responsibilities/duties, the mayor is not vested with any additional administrative authority.{{Cite web |title=City Council {{!}} City of Calabasas, CA |url=https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/government/city-council |access-date=May 9, 2022 |website=www.cityofcalabasas.com}}
