Officially incorporated in 1911, the Burbank area was
originally part of two large Spanish land grants dating from the late
18th century and early 19th century. In 1867, a dentist from New
Hampshire, Dr. David Burbank, purchased parts of both land grants and
combined them into a large sheep ranch, occasionally selling small
plots of land. The area was mostly rural until the aviation and
entertainment industries moved in during the 1920s. Today, Burbank
prides itself on being a city of “people, pride and progress,” and
combines 21st-century technology with a high quality of life.
