A Little History About Glendale California
Back in 1798 a Corporal named Jose Maria Berdugo established the title to the Rancho San Rafael. The Rancho included most of today's Glendale, Burbank, Eagle Rock and Highland Park. When he died in 1831 he passed his title on to his son and daughter. 30 years later the two of them split the Rancho between them. After a series of divisions took place, the courts decided to dissolve the Rancho San Rafael, known as the "Great Partition". Once the land was divided there were many homes and business established. There were six other land owners that contributed to create the original 150 acre town site which was named GLENDALE in 1887.

The city was the incorporated in 1906 and consisted of 1,486 acres. By the time 1930 rolled around there had been ten additional annexations which brought the area to be a total of 15,140 acres. By 1952, the city had grown to be approximately 29 square miles. After the largest annexation of the George Dukemejian Wilderness Park, the city ended at 30.5 square miles.

Today the city is divided into 34 neighborhoods. You can find Glendale to be divided by streets, washes, and mountain ridges. Glendale is also divided into Census Tracts. Tract boundaries were established for the purpose of accumulating statistical information for the United States Bureau of the Census.
