Description: In 1784, José Maria Verdugo received one of the first land grants in Alta California. This grant netted Verdugo 36,000 acres west of the San Gabriel Mission, which he called Rancho San Rafael and included the Verdugo mountain range. Eventually, descendents of José Maria decided to contribute parts of their land to create the city of Glendale.
