Nordhoff Street is a major east–west arterial road that runs for 10 miles (16 km) in the northwest San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California.
Nordhoff Street was named after Charles Nordhoff, a 19th-century a journalist whose writings about California attracted many transplants.[1]
Route
Nordhoff Street travels east–west across the northern San Fernando Valley. From west to east, it travels through Chatsworth, Northridge, North Hills, and Panorama City, and into Arleta.[1] Nordhoff also marks the northern boundary separating Northridge from Sherwood Forest.[2] The street is four lanes or more for almost its entire length, and it contains a gap at Corbin Avenue, although the gap is bridged by Nordhoff Way.
