West Creek's homes are part of an ever-growing planned community based around Newhall's Valencia housing development, begun in the 1960s. While Valencia was sprouting, the nearby Whittaker-Bermite factory was producing perchlorate for Sidewinder missiles and military flares. The factory closed in 198...
