Sunland-Tujunga /təˈhʌŋɡə/ is a Los Angeles city neighborhood within the Crescenta Valley and Verdugo Mountains.[1] Sunland and Tujunga began as separate settlements and today are linked through a single police station, branch library, neighborhood council, chamber of commerce, city council district, and high school.[2] The merging of these communities under a hyphenated name goes back as far as 1928.[3] Sunland-Tujunga contains the highest point of the city, Mount Lukens.
