Sepulveda Boulevard is a street in Los Angeles, California, which stretches some 42.8 miles (about 69 km) from Rinaldi Street at the north end of theSan Fernando Valley to the city limits ofHermosa Beach, where it "jumps" 1.3 miles (2.1 km) east and continues on toLong Beach. It generally runs north-south, passing underneath two of the runways of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It is the longest street in the city and county of Los Angeles.[1]

HistoryEdit

In 1769, the Spanish Portola expedition, the first Europeans to see inland areas of California, traveled north through Sepulveda pass on August 5. The party had been travelling west, intending to reach and follow the coast, but were discouraged by the steep coastal cliffs beginning at today's Pacific Palisadesand decided to detour inland. They found the pass through the Santa Monica Mountains and followed it into the San Fernando Valley.[2]

Sepulveda Boulevard is named for theSepulveda family of San Pedro, California. The termination of Sepulveda is on a part of the Sepulveda family ranch, Rancho Palos Verdes, which consisted of 31,619 acres (127.96 km2) of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. In 1784 the Spanish land grant for Rancho San Pedro was issued to Juan Jose Dominguez by King Carlos III—the Spanish Empire. A judicial decree was made by Governor José Figueroa which was intended to settle the land dispute between the Domínguez and Sepúlveda families. The rancho was formally divided in 1846, with Governor Pío Pico granting Rancho de los Palos Verdes to José Loreto and Juan Capistrano Sepulveda.

There is a Sepulveda Boulevard inSylmar, in the San Fernando Valley, starting at San Fernando Road and ending at Roxford Street, which is now used primarily as a service road along the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5). Prior to the construction of the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405), the two present-day sections of Sepulveda Boulevard were connected; the Interstate 5 / Interstate 405 interchange was built over the old boulevard between Roxford and Rinaldi streets.

The main portion of Sepulveda Boulevard now begins at Rinaldi Street in Mission Hills and heads south, running parallel to the 405 throughNorth Hills and Van Nuys. After intersecting Ventura Boulevard inSherman Oaks, it crosses under the 405 and climbs the Sepulveda Pass in a serpentine fashion, peaking atMulholland Drive (although it does not intersect it, rather tunneling beneath it) near the Skirball Cultural Center. It once again parallels the 405 through a small canyon in Bel Air before flattening out inBrentwood, into the Los Angeles Basin.

Sepulveda Boulevard functions as a primary thoroughfare through West Los Angeles and upon entering Culver City it merges with Jefferson Boulevard just north of Slauson Avenue. Heading directly south through Westchester, Sepulveda merges with Lincoln Boulevard on the north side of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). After the merge with Lincoln, it becomes signed as State Route 1. It then tunnels under the runways of LAX and the western terminus of Interstate 105 intoEl Segundo and the South Bay.

In the South Bay, Sepulveda Boulevard runs from El Segundo throughManhattan Beach and enters Hermosa Beach, where it becomes Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), at Artesia Boulevard, and continues its southern journey.

At Torrance Boulevard (formerly Opal Street) in Redondo Beach, the road turns east a few blocks to Camino Real, then south by southeast to Torrance, where Sepulveda begins again. (That is because originally PCH was Camino Real in Redondo, and it cut and curved directly through to the Camino Real of today.) The roadway is part of El Camino Real, with historic bells along the street to indicate this.

Sepulveda Boulevard runs southeast through Torrance, Harbor Gateway(from Western Avenue to Normandie Avenue) and the unincorporated area ofLos Angeles County known as West Carson (from Normandie to the Harbor Freeway (Interstate 110). It then continues eastward through Carson toLong Beach, where the name changes to Willow Street, which then changes to the major Katella Avenue thoroughfare upon crossing the Orange County border.
