'''Calabasas''' is a city in [[Los Angeles County, California|Los Angeles County]], [[California]], in the western [[United States]]. As of the 2005 census, the city population was 23,123. The city was formally incorporated in [[1991]]. Many parts of Calabasas are mountains or hills, which have spectacular views of the [[San Fernando Valley]]. Many of the neighborhoods in Calabasas are gated communities filled entirely with [[McMansion]]s.

== Etymology ==

An extensive 2006 [[smoking ban]] placed the city at the center of a nationwide controversy.

The name ''Calabasas'' is an archaic [[Spanish language in California|Californio variant]] spelling of the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] word ''[[calabaza]]s'', meaning "[[winter squash]]es" (the area abounds in wild squashes).<ref name="ALFAL 1">{{cite book|last1=Covadonga Lamar Prieto | date = 6 June 2014| title = Rasgos Característicos del Español Californio (Features of Historical Californian Spanish or Californio Spanish) | chapter = Passive Expressions as Isogloss Between New Mexican and Californian Spanish Dialect Areas| chapter-url = https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.31819/9783865278692-013/html | issue = | journal = Cuadernos de la Asociación de Lingüística y Filología de América Latina | pages = 207–222|doi= 10.31819/9783865278692-013| isbn = 978-3-86527-869-2| access-date = 7 September 2023 }}</ref> The Spanish botanist Jose Longinos Martinez recorded ''Las Calabazas'' as a place name in 1792.<ref>{{cite thesis|last=King |first=Linda Barbey |title=Medea Creek Cemetery : late inland Chumash patterns of social organization, exchange and warfare |date=1982 |work=UCLA |page=20|degree=PhD|oclc=228142433}}</ref>

==NameHistory==

The [[San Fernando Valley]] has been inhabited by the [[Chumash people|Chumash]] and [[Tongva]] for thousands of years. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to set foot on the land. In 1770, an expedition headed by [[Gaspar de Portolá]] crossed the area while returning to [[Mexico]] from Northern California. In 1776, a northbound party of explorers led by [[Juan Bautista de Anza]] camped there on its way from Mexico.<ref>{{cite web |title=Calabasas History |url=https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/our-city/about-us/history |website=City of Calabasas |access-date=August 19, 2020}}</ref>

It is generally accepted that Calabasas means "pumpkin," "squash," or "gourd," derived from the Spanish ''calabaza''. Some historians hold the theory that it is merely a translation of the Chumash word ''calahoosa'', but as that term also refers to a type of gourd, it is a discussion that largely concerns only [[linguists]].

''Calabasas'' was the name given to a [[ranchería]] in the Los Angeles area in 1795. The [[Leonis Adobe]], in Old Town Calabasas, dates back to 1844 and is one of the oldest existing buildings in [[Greater Los Angeles Area|greater Los Angeles]].<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=http://you-are-here.com/building/leonis_adobe.html|title=Espiritu and Miguel Leonis Adobe in Calabasas - California|website=you-are-here.com|access-date=December 21, 2007|archive-date=May 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511042149/http://you-are-here.com/building/leonis_adobe.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{r|LAM -10-2018}} The city was [[municipal corporation|incorporated]] on April 5, 1991, making it the newest city in [[Los Angeles County, California|Los Angeles County]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Cities within the County of Los Angeles |url=http://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/lac/1043530_09-10CitiesAlpha.pdf |website=Lacounty.gov |access-date=December 11, 2020}}</ref>

==Communities==

==Geography==

Calabasas contains many different communities, many of which are defined by gates that only residents and guests can enter and others by the geographical differences. For example, Vista Pointe is located along the transverse ranges that run parallel to and in between the [[U.S. Route 101|101 Freeway]] and Parkway Calabasas Road.

Calabasas is situated in the southwestern region of the [[San Fernando Valley]], between the foothills of the [[Santa Monica Mountains|Santa Monica]] and [[Santa Susana Mountains|Santa Susana]] mountains.<ref name=OfficialWebsite/> It is {{convert|29.9|mi|km}} northwest of [[downtown Los Angeles]] (via [[U.S. Route 101|US 101]]). The city is bordered by the [[Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California|Woodland Hills]] neighborhood of Los Angeles to the northeast, [[Topanga, California|Topanga]] to the east, [[Malibu, California|Malibu]] to the south, [[Agoura Hills, California|Agoura Hills]] to the west, and [[Hidden Hills, California|Hidden Hills]] to the north. The commemorative [[El Camino Real (California)|El Camino Real]] runs east–west through Calabasas as the [[Ventura Freeway]] (US 101).

By 2015, several annexations had increased the city's total land area to {{convert|13.6|sqmi|km2}}.<ref>Cimberly Castellon and the Calabasas/Las Virgenes Historical Society. [https://books.google.com/books?id=MhrSCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA7 Calabasas] Arcadia Publishing, 2015, p. 7</ref>

From Parkway Calabasas: Vista Pointe, Calabasas Hills, Calabasas Park Estates, The Oaks.

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Calabasas is [[Park Moderne]], or the "Bird Streets". A former [[artists' colony]], remnants remain of the clubhouse, pool, and cabins scattered across streets with bird names, such as Meadow Lark, Blackbird, Bluebird, and Hummingbird located directly behind [[Calabasas High School]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-oct-28-me-62591-story.html|title=Echoes of an Artistic Past Still Resound|first=PATRICIA WARD|last=BIEDERMAN|date=October 28, 2001|access-date=March 7, 2019|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref>

==Technology Center==

During the [[dot-com bubble]], a number of technology companies appeared on a stretch of Agoura Rd., parallel to the 101 Freeway, in Calabasas, leading that area of Calabasas to develop a reputation as the "101 Technology Corridor". These companies included computer-networking companies [[Xylan]] (later [[Alcatel]]), [[Netcom Systems]] (later [[Spirent|Spirent Communications]], [[Ixia|Ixia Communications]], [[J2 Global Communications|j2 Global Communications]], and [[Tekelec]], as well as video-game publsher [[THQ]], and software companies [[Digital Insight]] and [[NetSol Technologies]][http://www.johnston-group.com/corporate_center.asp][http://www.klinehawkes.com/news/OvertureFast50.pdf][http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m5072/is_n46_v13/ai_11802884][http://www.larta.org/pl/NewsArticles/02_04_15_LATIMES_101Corridor.htm]. Although some of these companies have since reloated, been acquired, or ceased their operations, the area continues to be home to a significant technology presence.

==Smoking BanDemographics==

{{US Census population

In February [[2006]], Calabasas placed a [[Smoking ban|ban on smoking]] in nearly all public places, including sidewalks, parking lots, patios, and even outdoor balconies in apartment complexes if they were near common areas [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11436231/site/newsweek/from/RSS/], making it the city with the strictest anti-smoking laws in the [[United States]]. Under the new laws, smoking outside in the city is restricted to selected "smoker outposts." Smoking in undesignated areas under the new law could earn smokers fines of up to $500. The ban went into effect in March [[2006]], garnering much local and national media attention. The full text of the ordinance may be found at Calabasas' official website on the issue.

==Government==

City policies are enacted by a five-member city council. Council members serve overlapping four-year terms and are elected at-large, on a non-partisan basis. Each year, the council selects one of its members to act as mayor and preside over city council meetings; a mayor pro tempore is also selected at this time, to serve for one year, concurrent to the mayoral term. While the mayor has additional responsibilities/duties, the mayor is not vested with any additional administrative authority.<ref>{{Cite web |title=City Council {{!}} City of Calabasas, CA |url=https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/government/city-council |access-date=May 9, 2022 |website=www.cityofcalabasas.com}}</ref>

The City of Calabasas uses a [[Council–manager government|council-manager]] model of local government. The city council is primarily responsible for legislative, financial, and political matters, while an appointed city manager serves as the city's chief executive. The city manager is primarily responsible for managing day-to-day operations and providing general oversight. The city manager is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the city council.<ref>{{Cite web |title=City Manager's Office {{!}} City of Calabasas, CA |url=https://www.cityofcalabasas.com/government/city-manager-s-office |access-date=May 9, 2022 |website=www.cityofcalabasas.com}}</ref>
