Van Nuys is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California. Look at the two photos of Van Nuys' first year—and then listen to what the Los Angeles Times wrote on February 23, 1911, the day after the Van Nuys town lot auction: "Between dawn and dusk, in the shadow of... the encircling San Fernando Hills,and upon a bed that was the rough plank platform of a strident auctioneer, a city was born yesterday. Cut out of the heart of land that for long generations had been part of a single great property, stretching in every direction beyond the compass of the eye's sweep, the natal day of Van Nuys, the next town to be created out of the Van Nuys and Lankershim tract, was spectacular wonderful. Nothing like it was ever seen in California." Classic "boomerism"—classic real estate hype—but that was Van Nuys then. After a week of Los Angeles Times ads, and special excursion trains from Los Angeles to a bare townsite, lot sales began at the new town of Van Nuys on Washington's Birthday, February 22, 1911.
