Hop on the Antelope Valley line from downtown Los Angeles and head to Newhall in Santa Clarita! Since the 1800s, when gold was first discovered in nearby Placerita Canyon, Santa Clarita and the surrounding area developed a rich history. Old Town Newhall is known to be the historic core of Santa Clarita as it is the oldest neighborhood within the City of Santa Clarita. From the time Charles Mentry began operating the first successful oil well in the West, Pico No. 4, through the arrival of western film star William S. Hart and beyond, the city has been known as a place where people come to achieve their dreams and raise their families. In the past several years, the city has brought in a new mix of retail, restaurant, and entertainment. Today, Old Town Newhall has a variety of spots to check out such as the Laemmle Theatre, wine bars and breweries and great places to dine out with friends and family.
