Early history

The city of Burbank occupies land that was originally part of two Spanish land grants, the vast Rancho San Rafael, granted to Don Jose Maria Verdugo by the Spanish government in 1798, and the Rancho La Providencia created in 1821. The Ranchos or Alta California land grants established land use patterns that are still recognizable in the California of today. ...

A shrewd businessman, foreseeing the value of rail transport, Burbank sold Southern Pacific Railroad a right-of-way through the property for one dollar. A boom created by a rate war between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific would bring people streaming into California shortly thereafter and a group of land speculators would purchase much of Burbank's land holdings in 1886 for $250,000 USD.

"Burbank, the town, being built in the midst of the new farming community, has been laid out in such a manner as to make it by and by an unusually pretty town. The streets and avenues are wide and, all have been handsomely graded. All improvements being made would do credit to a city.... Everything done at Burbank has been done right.”

Aviation

The United States Department of Commerce recommended Burbank as the most favorable airport location in the Los Angeles area. Dedicated on Memorial Day Weekend (May 30 - June 1), 1930, the United Airport was the largest commercial airport in the Los Angeles area until it was eclipsed in 1946 by the Los Angeles Municipal Airport (now Los Angeles International Airport) in Westchester when that facility (the former Mines Field) commenced commercial operations. Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post and Howard Hughes were among the notable aviation pioneers to pilot aircraft in and out of the original Union Air Terminal.

Burbank's airport has undergone several name changes since opening in 1930. It had five runways that radiated in varying directions, each 300 feet (91 m) wide and 2,600 feet (790 m) long. It remained United Airport until 1934, when it was renamed Union Air Terminal (1934–1940). Boeing built planes on the field. Lockheed Aircraft had its own nearby airfield. Lockheed bought the airport in 1940 and renamed it Lockheed Air Terminal, which it was known as until 1967, when it became Hollywood-Burbank Airport. In 1978 it was renamed Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport (1978–2003). In December 2003, the facility was renamed Bob Hope Airport in honor of the famous comedian who lived in nearby Toluca Lake. In 2005, the city of Burbank and the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, which owns and operates the airport, reached a development agreement. The agreement forbids further airport expansion until 2009.

The growth of companies such as Lockheed and the burgeoning entertainment industry drew more people to the area, and Burbank's population doubled between 1930 and 1940 to 34,337. Burbank saw its greatest growth during World War II due to Lockheed's presence, employing some 80,800 men and women producing aircraft such as the Hudson, P-38 Lightning, PV-1 Ventura and America's first jet fighter, the P-80 Shooting Star. Lockheed later created the U2, SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Nighthawk at its Burbank-based "skunk works."

Dozens of hamburger stands, restaurants and mom-and-pop shops sprung up around Lockheed to accommodate the employees. Some of the restaurants operated 24 hours a day due to the fact Lockheed had several shifts of workers, daytime or night. At one time, Lockheed paid utility rates representing 25% of the city's total utilities revenue, which made Lockheed the city's undisputed cash cow. When Lockheed pulled out, the economic loss was huge to the city. At its height during World War II, the Lockheed facility employed up to 98,000 people. Burbank's growth did not slow as war production ceased, and over 7,000 new residents created a postwar real estate boom. Real estate values soared as housing tracts sprang up on vacant land in the Magnolia Park area of Burbank between 1945 and 1950.

Arnold Schwarzenegger first announced his candidacy for governor of California on "The Tonight Show" at NBC Studios in Burbank. The Burbank studio was purchased in 1951. NBC plans to move "The Tonight Show" from Burbank to the Stage One lot at Universal Studios when Conan O'Brien takes over hosting duties upon Jay Leno's retirement in 2009. The company plans to take West Coast network and local news operations and other facilities such as the "Access Hollywood" set to a new broadcast facility across the street from Universal Studios in 2011.

Burbank Mayor Marsha Ramos was quoted as saying she was sad to learn "The Tonight Show" is leaving the city. "'The Tonight Show' put us on the map," she told the Los Angeles Times.

The Bob's Big Boy Restaurant in Burbank (est. 1949) is the oldest remaining Bob's Big Boy in America, and in 1993 was designated a California Point of Historical Interest.

All are elements of "googie" architecture. In 1992, the restaurant's new owner sought to raze the 1950s structure and replace it with an office building or shopping center, but the landmark designation granted the eatery by the state and city made it legally more difficult to make significant changes to the structure.

Burbank became the first American city in 1991 to pass an ordinance requiring new buildings to ensure adequate first responder communications. Since then municipalities nationwide have copied Burbank's action. Burbank's ordinance allows for spot field-testing by police or fire department personnel.

Magnolia Park Area

Magnolia Park, established on Burbank's western edge in the early 1920s, had 3,500 houses within six years after its creation. When the city refused to pay for a street connecting the subdivision with the Cahuenga Pass, real estate developer Earl L. White did it himself and called it Hollywood Way. White was owner of KELW, the San Fernando Valley's first commercial radio station, which went on the air February 13, 1927. is the 44th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1927 (MCMXXVII) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The city's Magnolia Park area, bordered by West Verdugo Avenue to the south and Chandler Boulevard to the north, is known for its small-town feel, shady streets and Eisenhower-era storefronts. Most of the homes in the area date to the 1940s, when they were built for veterans returning from World War II. Central to the community is busy Magnolia Boulevard, known for its antique shops, mom-and-pop boutiques, thrift shops, corner markets, and occasional chain stores.

The neighborhood is in constant struggle with developers looking to expand and update Magnolia Boulevard. The independent merchants and slow-growth groups have fought off new construction and big-box stores. The neighborhood remains quiet despite being in the airport flight path and bordered by arterial streets. One of the centerpieces of the area's attempted comeback is Porto's Bakery at the old Thrifty site located at 3606 and 3614 West Magnolia Boulevard. As part of the project, Burbank loaned Porto's funds for building upgrades. Under the agreement a portion of the loan will be forgiven over a 10-year period.

Other enhancements include converting the disused railroad right-of-way along Chandler Boulevard into a landscaped bikeway and pedestrian path. This project was part of a larger bike route linking Burbank's downtown Metrolink station with the Red Line subway in North Hollywood.

Rancho Equestrian Area

Perhaps the most famous collection of neighborhoods in Burbank is the Rancho Equestrian District, flanked roughly by Griffith Park to the south, Victory Boulevard to the east, Keystone Street to the west and Alameda Avenue to the north.

The neighborhood zoning allows residents to keep horses in their backyards. Single-family homes far outnumber multifamily units in the Rancho. Many of the homes have stables and stalls. There are about 785 single-family homes, 180 condos and townhomes and 250 horses.

The Rancho is dominated by members of the Burbank Rancho Homeowners, which was formed in 1963 and is the oldest neighborhood group in the city. In 1990, the group decided to split off and form their own organization called the Burbank Rancho Assn. Inc. The newer organization maintains a strong activist stance on growth and other issues, including airport expansion. The community groups recently fought off the proposed development of a Whole Foods store in the Rancho area.

In the 1960s General Motors Corporation opened training facilities in the Rancho area, but in 1999 decided to contract out dealer-technician training to Raytheon Company and axed a dozen employees. The facility is now primarily a meeting and training venue for automotive-related events. In 2006, GM confiscated EV1 electric-powered cars from drivers who had leased them and moved them to the GM facility in Burbank. When environmentalists determined the location of the cars, they began a month-long vigil at the facility. To challenge the company's line that that were unwanted, they found buyers for all of them, offering a total of $1.9 million. The vehicles were loaded on trucks and removed, and several activists who tried to intervene were arrested.

Amelia Earhart

The pilot Amelia Earhart had close ties to Burbank. George Palmer Putnam reportedly had proposed marriage to Earhart on several occasions. Finally, when Putnam proposed a sixth time at the Lockheed Co. in Burbank, she consented. They were married in 1931. In 1932, determined to prove herself a true pilot, not just a "sack of potatoes" as she had described her role in the flight four years before-Earhart took off eastward from New Jersey in her Burbank-built Lockheed Vega and became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Amelia Mary Earhart (24 July 1897 – missing 2 July 1937, declared dead 5 January 1939) was a noted American aviation pioneer, author and womens rights advocate. ... George Palmer Putnam (1814 - 1872) was a U.S. publisher. ...

From 1935 to 1937, Earhart made many more flights, many of them from Burbank Airport. It was there that she pored over blueprints with Lockheed engineers, who built the $34,000 Electra she was flying at the time of her disappearance. Earhart's damaged plane was sent to Burbank after she crashed on the runway at Pearl Harbor on her first around-the-world attempt in 1937. At the time of her disappearance, Earhart lived in nearby North Hollywood with Putnam.

James Jeffries

In 1904, James Jeffries, then heavyweight boxing champion of the world, purchased 107 acres of land at Victory Boulevard and Buena Vista Street. He started an alfalfa business and later developed a successful business supplying thoroughbred cattle bulls to Mexico and South America. The site, now where a Ralph's supermarket is located, also featured a large barn. Gradually, Jeffries sold off parts of his ranch, and in his later years turned the barn into a boxing arena. He died in 1953.
