Brief History:
Once known as Dennis Park
our community
has always been rich with history
that
has been preserved by the
businesses, buildings and
residents alike!
During the 1956 elections a
65% vote in favor of
changing Dennis Park to
Mission Hills by local
businesses and the
community.
Several local businesses,
now considered local
landmarks, still exist today from the days when
we were called Dennis Park.
Dennis Park Bakery
established in the early
1950's reminds us of our
rich history from a half
century ago!
Other
well known businesses such
as the Bear Pit (est.
1954) and Empire Hardware
(est. 1957) many times serve
as solid landmarks
when giving directions to
help newcomers find their
way around town.
Once the Golden State and
San Diego freeways were
completed in 1962-63 Mission
Hills was referred to as the
“Golden Triangle” nestled
between both freeways that
connect at the northern tip
of the community with the
101 freeway located in the
southern part of the San
Fernando Valley.
About the Council: We
were certified on April 19,
2005. Our
Board of Governors
consists of 13 seats plus a
youth member seat.
The
MHNC is within Council
District 7, State Assembly
District 39 and Senate
District 20 in the north
east San Fernando Valley.
