Chatsworth is a neighborhood in the northwestern San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.
The area was home to Native Americans, some of whom left caves containing rock art. Chatsworth was explored and colonized by the Spanish beginning in the 18th Century. The land was part of a Mexican land grant in the 19th Century, and after the United States took over the land following the Mexican War, it was the largest such grant in California. Settlement and development followed.
Chatsworth has seven public and eight private schools. There are large open-space and smaller recreational parks as well as a public library and a transportation center. Distinctive features are the former Chatsworth Reservoir, the Santa Susana Field Laboratory and a number of private businesses.
Overall, Chatsworth has one of the lowest densities of any neighborhood in the city, and it has a relatively high income level.
Chatsworth is the home of the Iverson Movie Ranch, a 500-acre area which was the most filmed movie ranch in history, as more than 2000 productions used it as a filming location.

Everyone seems to be welcome in this town, even the hoards of homeless that line the city's streets. There are senior centers here and our Chamber offered special membership packages for seniors. Lots of easy, accessible public transportation and special programs for those in need.
