The
history of the city dates back to 1798 when Corporal Jose Maria
Berdugo (later changed to Verdugo) established title to the Rancho
San Rafael. The Rancho included most of present day Glendale,
Burbank, Eagle Rock and Highland Park. In 1831, Jose Maria Verdugo
died and passed the Rancho San Rafael to his son and daughter (Julio
and Catalina). It was not until 30 years later (1861) that Julio and
Catalina divided the Rancho between them. A series of smaller
divisions took place until a court decision known as the "Great
Partition" was made in 1871 dissolving the Rancho San Rafael. As
smaller parcels were created, many homes and businesses were
developed. Six individuals contributed land to create the original
150 acre town site which was named Glendale. This was platted, filed
and recorded with the County Recorder as the "Town of Glendale" in
1887.
