Porter Ranch, California

Porter Ranch is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles. It is situated in the center-north section of the San Fernando Valley and is home to more than 30,000.00 Angelenos. It covers approximately five and a half square miles and encompasses the zip code 91362. Porter Ranch is one of the newest parts of Los Angeles, but has a storied past. In the late 19th century, Benjamin Porter purchased a part of the Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando land grant in the foothills of the Santa Susanas above Northridge. Primarily wheat fields for its first several decades, the relatively isolated area later became the site of numerous movie stars’ horse ranches. Eventually suburban development reached Porter Ranch. The area was the last portion of the San Fernando Valley within the Los Angeles city limits to be developed, with major construction not occurring until the 1970s. Large portions of the 1982 blockbuster film E.T. the Extra-terrestrial were filmed in Porter Ranch. The Steven Spielberg classic includes several shots looking down on the Porter Ranch neighborhood beneath the ridge in Palisades Park. Brasilia Dr., Killimore Ave. and Granada Circle appear most often in E.T. Porter Ridge Park, at the north end of Reseda Blvd., was used for the famous park scene at the end of the movie. That park is now known by locals as “E.T. Park.”

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were two horse and rider statues which marked the unofficial entrance to Porter Ranch. One was located on the North West corner of Tampa and Devonshire. The other was on the North East corner of Devonshire and Tunney. They were eventually removed to allow more residential development. There were reports about one of the statues being found in a trash dumpster many years later, although the actual whereabouts of the statues has remained a mystery.

Much of Porter Ranch is master-planned new communities, with many gated areas, and was developed by Nathan Shapell, Chairman & CEO of Shapell Industries, along with brother, David, and brother-in-law, Max Webb. Born in Poland, Nathan Shapell spent World War II as a prisoner of the infamous Buchenwald and Auschwitz Concentration Camps where most of his family was killed. After WWII he helped thousands of Holocaust survivors in Germany, building housing complexes for the displaced war survivors, and representing them before American military panels that decided on their applications to immigrate to the United States. He became one of the region’s biggest homebuilders and a major philanthropist in California, the United States, and Israel. He died in 2007 at age 85.

Today, Porter Ranch is mostly gated communities of single-family homes. Most residents commute by car to business hubs of Simi Valley, Downtown Los Angeles and the commercial hub of Woodland Hills, at the San Fernando Valley’s southwest corner. The community is also close to the Chatsworth and Northridge Metrolink stations that link to Downtown Los Angeles and Ventura County.
