About Northridge, California
Northridge is a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles. The Northridge area was first inhabited over 2,000 years ago by the Tongva. The village of Totonga was located in the Northridge area. The Tongva lived in dome-shaped houses and are sometimes referred to as the "people of the earth". Northridge Hospital Medical Center consists of a 411-bed hospital and serves 2 million residents of the Valley. The hospital is one of only two facilities in the Valley certified as a trauma center for treating life-threatening injuries. (Wikipedia)
