Canoga Park, North of Woodland Hills, has rebounded after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Savvy shoppers know Canoga Park for its thriving Antique row, where a number of old-fashioned stores sell everything from vintage jewelry to classic furniture. The Row, located along the 21500 block of Sherman Way, is also a terrific place to search for funky frocks from years gone by.

Canoga Park is located in the middle of one of the most historic areas in Southern California. From 1796-1822, it was a possession of Spain by right of discovery and conquest. Then, for 25 years, it was a prize of Mexico by right of revolution and, in the days just preceding California's gold rush, it was awarded to the United States by Mexico as reparation following the Mexican War of 1845.
