Castaic is a small town located in Los Angeles County, California, with a population of around 22,000. The area has a rich history dating back to the indigenous Tataviam people who lived off the land's natural resources. Castaic has a semi-arid climate, and its hydrology is primarily dependent on the nearby Castaic Lake and the Santa Clara River. The lake serves as a vital source of water for Los Angeles County and the surrounding areas. The snowpack from the nearby San Gabriel Mountains also contributes to the region's water supply. Agriculture is a significant industry in Castaic, with crops such as almonds, citrus fruits, and grapes being grown. The town is also a popular destination for recreation, offering activities such as fishing, camping, boating, and hiking in the nearby Angeles National Forest.
