Chatsworth and the surrounding land was home to Native Americans (Indians,) and has caves containing rock art, and was colonized by the Spanish beginning in the 18th century.
Chatsworth was founded in 1795 as part of the Rancho Simi Spanish land grant and was ceded to Mexico from Spain in 1821, after the Mexican War of Independence. The United States was granted ownership of the land Chatsworth sits on pursuant to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo after the Mexican American war ended in 1848.
The land was deeded to settlers after the 1862 Homestead Act which required living on the land for 5 years to “prove up” and own up to ¼ section, or 160 acres and became part of the City of Los Angeles when the San Fernando Valley was annexed in 1915.
