History
The Canoga Park station was originally constructed by Southern Pacific in 1912 along their Burbank branch, positioned just north of Sherman Way. In the same year, the Pacific Electric Owensmouth Line extended service to Owensmouth, crossing the Southern Pacific tracks at Sherman Way. Passenger operations by Southern Pacific on this route ceased in 1920, while Pacific Electric ended service here by 1938. The original station building earned designation as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1990 but was lost to fire three years afterward.
The current Orange Line was established over the previous Burbank branch corridor, with bus rapid transit service beginning at Sherman Way station on June 30, 2012.
Both the station and the street derive their names from General Moses Sherman, noted for his influential contributions to land development and rail infrastructure in the San Fernando Valley.
