Simi Valley (valley)

For the city, see Simi Valley, California.

Simi Valley (Chumash: Shimiyi) is a synclinal valley in Southern California in the United States. It is an enclosed or hidden valley surrounded by mountains and hills. It is connected to the San Fernando Valley to the east by the Santa Susana Pass, with the Coast Railway Line and the 118 (Ronald Reagan) freeway providing the infrastructure to do so, with the same infrastructure doing so in the west narrows of the Arroyo Simi to Moorpark. The relatively flat bottom of the valley contains soils formed from shales, sandstones, and conglomerates eroded from the surrounding hills of the Santa Susana Mountains to the north, which separate Simi Valley from the Santa Clara River Valley, and the Simi Hills.
