Burbank, California.  Burbank is a city that prides itself on growing each year through people, pride, and progress. These three ingredients turned a tiny, rural town into the thriving community it is today.

Dr. David Burbank was active in Los Angeles real estate when he purchased portions of both ranchos in 1867. He combined them into a large ranch where he raised sheep, built a ranch house and occasionally sold off small plots of land. Realizing that bringing in the railroad would increase the value of his ranch, Dr. Burbank sold the Southern Pacific Railroad a stretch of right-of-way for one dollar. The first train passed through Burbank on April 5, 1874.

The population of the town was 500 when the voters approved incorporation in 1911. That same year, civic boosters began a campaign to have the Pacific Electric Streetcar line extended from Glendale into Burbank.

The 1920's saw a period of growth and real estate development with the population increasing from 2,913 in 1920 to 16,622 in 1930.

Earl L. White developed the Magnolia Park area and by 1929, more than 3,500 homes had been built. The area had a shopping center at the corner of Hollywood Way, Burbank's first radio station, KELW, and Magnolia Park's own newspaper, The Tribune.

Burbank's continued growth was tied in to aviation and entertainment. Both industries came to Burbank because of its location and the available space. The motion picture business moved to Burbank in the 1920's. First National Pictures bought up a 78-acre site on Olive Avenue near Dark Canyon. The company was soon taken over by another young company founded by four brothers by the name of Warner. On October 23, 1927, motion picture history was made when Warner Bros. released the first all-talking movie, The Jazz Singer, starring Al Jolson.

During the 1960s, more and more of the Hollywood entertainment industry were relocating to Burbank. The National Broadcasting Company moved its network television headquarters to its new location and by 1962, NBC's multi-million dollar; state-of-the-art complex was completed.

In these last years of the 20th century, Burbank continues to see changes. In 1989, the Golden Mall was reopened and traffic again flowed down San Fernando Boulevard after 20 years as an outdoor pedestrian mall. After years of effort, the City finally obtained a major retail shopping center on a 41-acre site. The downtown area has been revitalized with a wide variety of restaurants and multi-screen movie theatres.

Today Burbank is a prominent entertainment-oriented city which prides itself on a high quality of life, combining 21st century technology with small-town feel. It is, indeed, everything that the founders had hoped it would become.
