Isn’t San Fernando located in the valley where the Valley Girls come from?

Los Angeles Geography 101:

The San Fernando Valley comprises several small communities, officially part of the City of Los Angeles, though they have their own local councils: Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, Northridge, Chatsworth, Encino, Tarzana, Reseda, Van Nuys, et al.

One of these communities, San Fernando, declined to be annexed to the City of Los Angeles and is still an independent city, with its own city government. It shares its name with the San Fernando Valley, in which it is located.

So essentially the City of San Fernando is in the San Fernando Valley and surrounded by the City of Los Angeles on all sides.

“Andrea,” narrator of the song “Valley Girl,” lived in Encino. The “really, really good” part of Encino, which, if you judge by real estate prices, is up in the hills that divide the San Fernando Valley from the rest of the Los Angeles.
