The city of Santa Clarita will host an open house to celebrate the city’s 30th birthday in December.

The open house, located at City Hall, will take place Dec. 15,. The event will go from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Century Room and Council Chambers. City Hall is located at 23920 Valencia Boulevard.

The event is an opportunity for the community to celebrate all that 30 years of cityhood has brought to Santa Clarita, city officials said.  

Guests will have a chance to speak with the current city council members, as well as some of the city’s founders. There will be a display of historic memorabilia, birthday cake and a screening of a documentary by SCVTV focusing on the past 30 years.  

In 1987, Santa Clarita was 39 square miles and included the communities of Saugus, Newhall, Valencia and Canyon Country.  Since then, more than 30 neighborhoods have annexed to the city, making Santa Clarita over 60 square miles and the third largest city in Los Angeles County.

Over the last three decades, cityhood has resulted in millions of dollars remaining in the community.  These funds have enabled the city to provide new facilities, programs and services, according to a city press release.

Some of these include 34 parks, 85 miles of off street trails, more than 9,000 acres of preserved open space, three Metrolink stations, three libraries, two community centers, anti-drug programs for youth, hundreds of sports and recreation programs, the Aquatic Center, Skatepark, traffic and road improvements, preventing a new landfill and a new aggregate mining project.
