Los Angeles City Council District 7

Los Angeles City Council District 7 is one of the 15 districts of the Los Angeles City Council. It covers much of the northeastern San Fernando Valley. The seat is currently vacant, following the resignation of Felipe Fuentes.

The Seventh District includes the neighborhoods of Pacoima, Lake View Terrace, Mission Hills, North Hills, Sunland-Tujunga and Sylmar.

For all the neighborhoods and communities represented, see the official City of Los Angeles Map of District 7, showing its boundaries.

A new city charter effective in 1925 replaced the former "Plurality-at-large voting" system for a nine-member city council within a district system, having a 15-member council. Each district was to be approximately equal in population, based upon the voting in the previous gubernatorial election, so redistricting was done every four years. In the present day, redistricting is done every ten years, based upon the preceding U.S. census results. The numbering system established in 1925 for City Council districts began with No. 1 in the north of the city, in the San Fernando Valley, and ended with No. 15 in the south, in the Harbor area.

At the beginning, the Seventh District was situated south of Downtown Los Angeles. It was moved to the San Fernando Valley in 1956.

1925: Bounded on the north by Jefferson Boulevard, on the south by Slauson Boulevard, on the west by Vermont Avenue and on the east by South Park Avenue.
