Canyon Country is a neighborhood in the eastern part of the city of Santa Clarita, in northwestern Los Angeles County, California, United States.

After Spanish settlement, the valley became grazing lands of the Mission San Fernando Rey de España around 1790.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Newhall Land company's suburban developments transformed the surrounding areas into a largely residential city.

[2] In 1987, Canyon Country was one of four communities, along with Valencia, Newhall, and Saugus, that merged to create the city of Santa Clarita, California.

It occupies roughly the portion of Santa Clarita east of Golden Valley Road, and is bordered by Saugus to the west and Newhall to the southwest.

[3][4] Due to its location adjacent to the mountainous Angeles National Forest, and its aridity (especially in summer), Canyon Country is susceptible to wildfires.

The Buckweed Fire in October 2007 burned nearly 38,000 acres (15,000 ha) throughout Canyon Country and Agua Dulce.

[5] The Sand Fire took place in Canyon Country in July and August 2016 and burned nearly 42,000 acres (17,000 ha) of land.

[8] City of Santa Clarita Transit operates bus services throughout Canyon Country along routes 5, 6, and 12.

The house of The Crandall family used in the movie Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is located in this community.
