Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles

A partner of the Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company, Gen. Moses Hazeltine Sherman developed Sherman Oaks. The company had subdivided {{convert|1000|acre|ha}} of land that would become Sherman Oaks. In 1927, each acre was sold for $780.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/la-re-guide22may22-story.html |title=Valley Girl reputation, community activist at heart|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date= May 22, 2005|access-date= March 23, 2014|first=DINAH |last=ENG}} Sherman's other major venture was the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad.

In 1991, a group of homeowners living in the Chandler Estates area successfully petitioned former Los Angeles City Councilmember Zev Yaroslavsky to re-draw the boundaries of Sherman Oaks from Magnolia Boulevard to Burbank Boulevard in the north, and from Coldwater Canyon Avenue to Van Nuys Blvd in the west, with the goal of including their neighborhood. This request was nothing new to the San Fernando Valley; other neighborhoods had either sought to change their names, or sought to attach themselves onto more affluent neighborhoods.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-20-me-3807-story.html|title=Council Urges New Chandler Estates ZIP|newspaper=Los Angeles Times}} Residents in the area argued, however, that the area was originally part of Sherman Oaks, but was labeled Van Nuys instead through the creation of ZIP codes in 1962; a resident produced a property deed to buttress the case.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-05-30-me-3999-story.html|title=Neighborhood Presses for Identity It Lost in 1962|newspaper=Los Angeles Times}}

Just a few weeks after the Chandler Estates area successfully seceded from Van Nuys, Magnolia Woods, a 45 block area bordered by Van Nuys Boulevard on the east and the San Diego Freeway on the west, and between Burbank and Magnolia Boulevards, also successfully petitioned Los Angeles City council member Marvin Braude to secede from Van Nuys and join Sherman Oaks. Petitioners in the area argued that their neighborhood was also part of Sherman Oaks, though they were only able to produce 22 deeds showing so. As a result of this change, Van Nuys Middle School became separated from its namesake neighborhood.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-08-22-me-1234-story.html|title=Van Nuys Loses Another Area to Sherman Oaks|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|first=JOCELYN Y. |last=STEWART |date=August 22, 1991}}

Finally, in 2009, the Los Angeles City council voted to redraw neighborhood boundaries again to allow an area of about 1,800 homes in Van Nuys to be included.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-jul-15-me-neighborhood-switch15-story.html|title=Part of Van Nuys will get new name|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|first=Maeve|last=Reston|date=July 15, 2009}}

The 1994 Northridge earthquake caused damage in the surrounding area. The Community Redevelopment Agency sought to manage the rebuilding efforts. The homeowners in the Sherman Oaks area later won a lawsuit to prevent the agency from managing efforts.{{r|EngDinah}}

The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Studio City to the east, Van Nuys to the north, Encino to the west, Bel Air and Beverly Hills Post Office to the south.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}
