Location
De Soto station

De Soto station is a station on the G Line of the Los Angeles Metro Busway system. [3] The station is next to Victory Boulevard, which parallels that section of the Orange Line. It is located in the western San Fernando Valley near the meeting of three largely residential municipal communities of the City of Los Angeles: Canoga Park, Winnetka, and Woodland Hills.

Contents

It is named after De Soto Avenue, which travels north-south and crosses the east-west busway route, and is, in turn, named after Hernando de Soto, the conquistador who led the first European expedition into the southeastern United States. De Soto did not explore California, despite the location of the station and avenue.

Counting from the western terminus in Chatsworth, it is the sixth station on the Orange Line.
