History

The Pacific Electric San Fernando line reached Van Nuys in 1911. By 1913 North Sherman Way was the junction of the Owensmouth and San Fernando branches and featured a 12-car yard. Services were truncated here in 1938; the stop then served as the line's northern terminus until the route was replaced by bus service in 1952.[3]

Sherman Way is named for entrepreneur and Valley developer Gen. Moses Hazeltine Sherman.[4]
