Van Nuys is a neighborhood in the central San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California. Home to Van Nuys Airport and the Valley Municipal Building, it is the most populous neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.

In 1909, the Suburban Homes Company – a syndicate led by Hobart Johnstone Whitley, along with Harry Chandler, H. G. Otis, M. H. Sherman, and O. F. Brandt – purchased 48,000 acres for $2.5 million. Henry E. Huntington extended his Pacific Electric Railway through the Valley, facilitating development.

Van Nuys, founded in 1911, was named for developer Isaac Newton Van Nuys. It was annexed by Los Angeles on May 22, 1915, after the Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed, enabling further growth.

Notable landmarks include the 1932 Art Deco Valley Municipal Building and the G Line bikeway stations. Efforts like the 2014 Great Streets initiative revitalized infrastructure. The community borders Sherman Oaks and underwent boundary changes to raise property values, sparking discussions about socio-economic impacts.
