Baker Ranch Rodeo, Saugus, c. 1926

Saugus is a neighborhood in Santa Clarita, California. It was one of four communities (with Valencia, Newhall and Canyon Country) that merged in 1987 to create the city of Santa Clarita. Saugus is named after Saugus, Massachusetts, the hometown of Henry Newhall, upon whose land the town was originally built.

History

Saugus was first named Newhall by Henry M. Newhall, who bought the eastern half of the Del Valle family's Rancho San Francisco from a series of speculators. After he moved the town south in 1879, he renamed the original site for his birthplace, Saugus, Massachusetts.

The Saugus Cafe, on Railroad Avenue in Saugus, was established in 1886. It is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Los Angeles County.

On November 14, 2019, a mass shooting took place at Saugus High School. A 16-year-old student, Nathaniel Berhow, shot and killed two other students in the school's quad and injured three others. He then shot himself in the head and succumbed to his injuries the following day.
