About Castaic
Castaic, California (2000 Census population 22,173 in the 91384
ZIP Code) is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County,
USA. It os north of Santa Clarita in Castaic Canyon a few miles
north of the Santa Clarita Valley and Six Flags Magic Mountain
amusement park. It is approx. 39 miles from the downtown Los Angeles
Civic Center]].Today it is a growing community in close proximity
to the San Fernando Valley and Greater Los Angeles Area, and has
many new suburban one and two story houses in new developments.
It began life in 1915 at the opening of the original Ridge Route,
which brought it travelers looking for gasoline, water, food and
lodging. Many early day residents of Castaic were involved in
providing for traveler's needs along the Ridge Route. Today travelers
still enjoy stopping at Castaic for travelers' needs, but also
enjoy nearby amenities including Castaic Lake and Pyramid Lake
where boating and swimming are favorite pastimes. Castaic Lake
is the terminus of the west branch of the State Water Project
and a 150 MW pumped storage hydroelectric plant located at Castaic
Dam captures the energy from the falling water. From Castaic,
the water is delivered to by pipelines to the Los Angeles area.
The Castaic Town Council meets regularly to solve the challenges
of the growing community. It covers 100 square miles (259 km²)
of area, and includes the Val Verde and Chiquito Canyon areas.
Some of the earliest businesses started in Castaic are Castaic
Brick (founded 1927) and George Dunn's Wayside Dairy (founded
1929). Sam's Place (Sam Parson, proprietor) on the Ridge Route
has long since gone and is now a memory. The origin of the name
Castaic - misspelled by many over the decades - is the Native
American word Kashtuk, meaning "eyes."
