History

Origin of name

The city takes its name from the ancient Republic of San Marino, founded by Saint Marinus who fled his home in Dalmatia (modern Croatia) at the time of the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians.[8][9] Marinus took refuge at Monte Titano on the Italian peninsula, where he built a chapel and founded a monastic community in 301 A.D. The state which grew from the monastery is the world's oldest surviving republic.[10]

The seal of the City of San Marino, California is modeled on that of the republic, depicting the Three Towers of San Marino each capped with a bronze plume, surrounded by a heart-shaped scroll with two roundels and a lozenge (of unknown significance) at the top. The crown representing sovereignty on the original was replaced with five stars, representing the five members of the city's governing body. Beneath the city's seal are crossed palm fronds and orange branches.[8] Other than the city's use of the name and copy of the Republic of San Marino seal, there is absolutely no historical connection between them.

The city celebrated its centennial in 2013, including publication by the San Marino Historical Society of a 268-page book, San Marino, A Centennial History, by Elizabeth Pomeroy.[11] In September 2014, this book and author Elizabeth Pomeroy received a prestigious Award of Merit for Leadership in History from the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).[12]

Early history

The site of San Marino was originally occupied by a village of Tongva (Gabrieleño) Indians located approximately where the Huntington School is today. The area was part of the lands of the San Gabriel Mission. Principal portions of San Marino were included in an 1838 Mexican land grant of 128 acres to Victoria Bartolmea Reid, a Gabrieleña Indian. (After her first husband, also a Gabrieleño, died in 1836 of smallpox, she remarried Scotsman Hugo Reid in 1837). She called the property Rancho Huerta de Cuati. After Hugo Reid's death in 1852, Señora Reid sold her rancho in 1854 to Don Benito Wilson, the first Anglo owner of Rancho San Pascual. In 1873, Don Benito conveyed to his son-in-law, James DeBarth Shorb, 500 acres (2.0 km2), including Rancho Huerta de Cuati, which Shorb named "San Marino" after his grandfather's plantation in Maryland, which, in turn, was named after the Republic of San Marino located on the Italian Peninsula in Europe.[13][14]

History (1900s)

In 1903, the Shorb rancho was purchased by Henry E. Huntington (1850–1927), who built a large mansion on the property. The site of the Shorb/Huntington rancho is occupied today by the Huntington Library, which houses a world-renowned art collection, research and rare-book library, and botanical gardens.[15] In 1913 the three primary ranchos of Wilson, Patton, and Huntington, together with the subdivided areas from those and smaller ranchos, such as the Stoneman, White, and Rose ranchos, were incorporated as the city of San Marino.[8]

The first mayor of the city of San Marino was George Smith Patton (1856-1927), the son of a slain Confederate States of America colonel in the U.S. Civil War (also named George Smith Patton, 1833–1864). He married Ruth Wilson, the daughter of Don Benito Wilson. Their son was the World War II general George S. Patton Jr.

To a prior generation of Southern Californians, San Marino was known for its old-money wealth and as a bastion of the region's WASP gentry. By mid-century, however, other European ethnic groups had become the majority. In 1970, the city was 99.7% White.[16]

By 1990, the city's households were 23.7% Asian.[16] In 2000, the city's Asian households increased to 40%.[16] In recent decades, immigrants of Chinese and Taiwanese ancestry have come to represent more than 60% of the population, perhaps due to its location in the San Gabriel Valley, known to be a popular destination for East Asian immigrants.[17]

Geography

The city is located in the San Rafael Hills, and is divided into seven zones, based on minimum lot size. The smallest lot size is about 4,500 square feet (420 m2), with many averaging over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2). Because of this and other factors, most of the homes in San Marino, built between 1920 and 1950, do not resemble the houses in surrounding Southern California neighborhoods (with the exception, perhaps, of neighboring portions of Pasadena). San Marino has also fostered a sense of historic preservation among its homeowners. With minor exceptions, the city's strict design review and zoning laws have thus far prevented the development of large homes found elsewhere in Los Angeles.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2), virtually all land.

San Marino is highly restrictive of commercial operations in the city. It is one of the few cities that requires commercial vehicles to have permits to work within the city. The rationale is that commercial vehicle operators and service providers, such as gardeners, pool service providers and maintenance workers, are more likely to cause social disruption within the city, and so must be preauthorized for crime control and prosecutorial purposes. This regulation and others, including the bans on apartment buildings, townhouses and overnight parking, are some of the more obvious examples.

San Marino is the location of the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. In 1919, Henry E. Huntington provided limited access to his art collection, library containing the rare books and historical documents, and botanical collection. The Huntington's library contains 8 million manuscripts, 440,000 rare books, 454,000 reference books, 900,000 prints and ephemera, 777,000 photographs, and 300,000 digital files.[25] The Huntington's art collections are housed in his large Neoclassical–Palladian mansion and feature European and American art spanning more than 500 years. In addition, the surrounding botanical gardens span approximately 120 acres and contain more than a dozen themed gardens. Collectively, the institution is known as "The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens", or as "The Huntington," to the public.[26]

El Molino Viejo ("The Old Mill"), completed about 1816 as a grist mill for Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, is in San Marino. The original two-story structure measured 53 feet (16 m) by 26 feet (7.9 m). It is the oldest commercial building in Southern California.[27][28] The town is located on the former lands of the historic Rancho Huerta de Cuati.[29]

The Edwin Hubble House: From 1925 to 1953, this two-story stucco home was the residence of one of America's greatest 20th-century astronomers, Edwin Hubble, who, among other accomplishments, discovered extragalactic nebulae and their separation from each other. It is a National Historic Landmark.[30]

The Michael White Adobe House is located on the campus of San Marino High School and houses the San Marino Historical Society archives.[31]

The University of Southern California owns a house in San Marino which is used as the residence of the President of the university. The residence and grounds are often used for University Presidential events.

Across from City Hall, at the northeast corner of Huntington Drive and San Marino Avenue, is the Centennial Clock, donated to the community in 2005 by the Rotary Club of San Marino in celebration of Rotary International's 100th anniversary. Dedicated on July 4, 2005, the nineteen foot high clock includes a time capsule with artifacts donated by residents and community organizations which is to be opened on July 4, 2039, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Club of San Marino.[32]

In the middle of San Marino lies Lacy Park, a 30-acre (120,000 m2) expanse of grass and trees. Originally named Wilson Lake in 1875, the land was purchased by the city in 1925 and dedicated as a park. It is one of the few neighborhood parks that charge for admission, with a $5 fee for non-San Marino residents on weekends. A picnic area is often the site of musical concerts, civic events and pancake breakfasts. Within the park are two walking loops: an inner loop of approximately 3/4 mile in length, and an outer loop of approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) in length. Dogs are welcome with their owners, providing they are on a leash.[33] In recent years, proposals from SMHS alumni Brent and Derek Barker to build a dedicated dog park on the unlandscaped western edge of the park have been shelved due to strident opposition from some of the city's elderly residents.[34] The park includes six championship tennis courts and a pro shop, administered by the San Marino Tennis Foundation. At the west entrance of the park is the Rose Arbor, which is of special significance for the people of San Marino. It is sixty years old and has long been a source of beauty and tranquility to many residents. In recent years the care and upkeep of the Rose Arbor itself has been augmented by private donations from residents who have chosen to sponsor individual posts.[33] The park recently built a memorial to General George S. Patton (a native of San Marino) and also a large memorial to the Armed Forces along with a statue of a sad soldier. The memorial includes the names of all military personnel from San Marino.[27]

The city's local newspaper office is located near the city's most prominent street, Huntington Drive. "The San Marino Tribune" has been the official newspaper of the city since 1929. There are two sections of the weekly paper, an "A" section and a "B" section, the distinction being that it covers not only San Marino news but also the Pasadena, San Gabriel, Alhambra, Arcadia and South Pasadena news.[35]

Government

Local government

Governing the City of San Marino is a city council of five members, elected by the people for a four-year term. Elections are consolidated with the county and are held on the first Tuesday, following the first Monday in November of odd numbered years.  Terms are staggered so that three seats are available during one election cycle and two seats are available during the next cycle. In 2015, the state enacted a law to require municipalities to consolidate their elections beginning January 1, 2018.[36] The five council members serve without any financial compensation and elect one of their own members as Mayor.

The current city council members are:

  • Mayor: Ken Ude (2021) [37]
  • Vice Mayor: Susan Jakubowski (2020)[38]
  • Council members: Dr. Steven W. Huang, Gretchen Shepherd Romey, and Steve Talt (2020)[38]

San Marino's Fiscal Year 2019-2020 operating budget is $25,807,192.[39] The city manager reports that for FY 2019-2020 "personnel costs comprise 2/3rds of the operating budget, and the largest portion of the increase from FY 2018-2019 is in that area."[39]

The San Marino City Council page states: "San Marino was formed to protect your personal rights and to control the growth and activities of the City in such a way that each individual resident will be guaranteed a pleasant place in which to live with a minimum of nuisance, with assurance that his property values will be protected by stringent zoning regulations. It is your City Council's desire to acquaint the old and new residents with the history and background of San Marino, its many advantages and some of your responsibilities as a citizen."[40]

Education

On September 9, 1913, the first San Marino school was opened at the corner of Monterey Road, then called Calle de Lopez, and Oak Knoll, in what was known as the Old Mayberry Home. There were three teachers and thirty-five pupils from kindergarten through the eighth grade; high school students attended South Pasadena High School until San Marino High School was founded in 1952. San Marino High School graduated its first class in 1956. The high school's mascot, "The Titans", comes from Mt. Titano, in the Republic of San Marino.[8]

San Marino High School is situated on the former site of Carver Elementary School. In 1996, the high school reconstruction was begun and the school is now equipped with new laboratories, classrooms, and Ethernet connections, supported mainly by bond issues and rigorous fund-raising by the San Marino Schools Endowment. The new buildings include a brand new cafeteria, orchestra and band room, dance studio, journalism lab, and renovated auditoriums, as well as a renovated baseball field and a brand new football field/track.[56] The School Board's budget totals around $3 million in a given year.

San Marino High School is part of the San Marino Unified School District. Its public funding is supplemented by private donations raised through the San Marino Schools Foundation. Each year, the Foundation raises funds necessary to balance the District's budget. To date[when?], the San Marino Schools Foundation has contributed $18,268,485 to the schools since its inception in March 1980.[56] Between 2013 and 2017, the district was noted for having the highest percentage of students who met and exceeded the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress standards.[57]

The San Marino Unified School District has been ranked as the top unified school district in the state of California for eighteen consecutive years, including 2018.[58] Each of its public primary schools has also been honored as a California Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon School.[59]

There are four public schools in San Marino Unified School District:

The two elementary schools offer instruction for grades K-5, the middle school for grades 6-8, and the high school for grades 9-12. The middle school was named Henry E. Huntington School, after San Marino's "first citizen."[56] In 1953, a new K. L. Carver Elementary was completed at its current location on San Gabriel Boulevard and was named after K. L. Carver, a long-serving school board member.[56][60] Stoneman Elementary School, named for Governor George Stoneman, who had resided in San Marino, is no longer used for instruction by San Marino School District. The former school is now leased by the San Marino City Recreation Department and houses San Marino Unified School District special education staff.[56]

In November 2007, San Marino High School was ranked 82nd on a list of the best high schools in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report.[61]

Private schools

  • Southwestern Academy, a private college preparatory school, was founded on April 7, 1924. The campus was part of an original Spanish grant (the old ranch grew orange and avocado trees) and the land was subsequently legalized[clarification needed] by Abraham Lincoln. "Southwestern Academy" was named to capture the distinctive spirit of the Southwestern United States. Pioneer Hall, which was Southwestern's original campus building, was the home of then-Governor George Stoneman.[56]
  • Saints Felicitas and Perpetua school is a Catholic school that offers education in grades K-8. The city took the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to the Supreme Court[clarification needed] to block the construction of the school, as it was attempting to demolish a historical site called Casa Blanca or the Old Adobe (at one time the Luther Harvey Titus Adobe) to make way for the new school.[citation needed] Saints Felicitas & Perpetua School was completed and dedicated in 1950.[56]

takes its name from the ancient Republic of San Marino founded by Saint Marinus who fled his home in Dalmatia modern Croatia at the time of the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians 8 9 Marinus took refuge at Monte Titano on the Italian peninsula where he built a chapel and founded a monastic community in 301 A D The state which grew from the monastery is the world s oldest surviving republic 10 The seal of the City of San Marino California is modeled on that of the republic depicting the Three Towers of San Marino each capped with a bronze plume surrounded by a heart shaped scroll with two roundels and a lozenge of unknown significance at the top The crown representing sovereignty on the original was replaced with five stars representing the five members of the city s governing body Beneath the city s seal are crossed palm fronds and orange branches 8 Other than the city s use of the name and copy of the Republic of San Marino seal there is absolutely no historical connection between them The city celebrated its centennial in 2013 including publication by the San Marino Historical Society of a 268 page book San Marino A Centennial History by Elizabeth Pomeroy 11 In September 2014 this book and author Elizabeth Pomeroy received a prestigious Award of Merit for Leadership in History from the American Association for State and Local History AASLH 12 Early history Edit The site of San Marino was originally occupied by a village of Tongva Gabrieleno Indians located approximately where the Huntington School is today The area was part of the lands of the San Gabriel Mission Principal portions of San Marino were included in an 1838 Mexican land grant of 128 acres to Victoria Bartolmea Reid a Gabrielena Indian After her first husband also a Gabrieleno died in 1836 of smallpox she remarried Scotsman Hugo Reid in 1837 She called the property Rancho Huerta de Cuati After Hugo Reid s death in 1852 Senora Reid sold her rancho in 1854 to Don Benito Wilson the first Anglo owner of Rancho San Pascual In 1873 Don Benito conveyed to his son in law James DeBarth Shorb 500 acres 2 0 km2 including Rancho Huerta de Cuati which Shorb named San Marino after his grandfather s plantation in Maryland which in turn was named after the Republic of San Marino located on the Italian Peninsula in Europe 13 14 History 1900s Edit In 1903 the Shorb rancho was purchased by Henry E Huntington 1850 1927 who built a large mansion on the property The site of the Shorb Huntington rancho is occupied today by the Huntington Library which houses a world renowned art collection research and rare book library and botanical gardens 15 In 1913 the three primary ranchos of Wilson Patton and Huntington together with the subdivided areas from those and smaller ranchos such as the Stoneman White and Rose ranchos were incorporated as the city of San Marino 8 The first mayor of the city of San Marino was George Smith Patton 1856 1927 the son of a slain Confederate States of America colonel in the U S Civil War also named George Smith Patton 1833 1864 He married Ruth Wilson the daughter of Don Benito Wilson Their son was the World War II general George S Patton Jr To a prior generation of Southern Californians San Marino was known for its old money wealth and as a bastion of the region s WASP gentry By mid century however other European ethnic groups had become the majority In 1970 the city was 99 7 White 16 By 1990 the city s households were 23 7 Asian 16 In 2000 the city s Asian households increased to 40 16 In recent decades immigrants of Chinese and Taiwanese ancestry have come to represent more than 60 of the population perhaps due to its location in the San Gabriel Valley known to be a popular destination for East Asian immigrants 17 Geography EditThe city is located in the San Rafael Hills and is divided into seven zones based on minimum lot size The smallest lot size is about 4 500 square feet 420 m2 with many averaging over 30 000 square feet 2 800 m2 Because of this and other factors most of the homes in San Marino built between 1920 and 1950 do not resemble the houses in surrounding Southern California neighborhoods with the exception perhaps of neighboring portions of Pasadena San Marino has also fostered a sense of historic preservation among its homeowners With minor exceptions the city s strict design review and zoning laws have thus far prevented the development of large homes found elsewhere in Los Angeles According to the United States Census Bureau the city has a total area of 3 8 square miles 9 8 km2 virtually all land San Marino is highly restrictive of commercial operations in the city It is one of the few cities that requires commercial vehicles to have permits to work within the city The rationale is that commercial vehicle operators and service providers such as gardeners pool service providers and maintenance workers are more likely to cause social disruption within the city and so must be preauthorized for crime control and prosecutorial purposes This regulation and others including the bans on apartment buildings townhouses and overnight parking are some of the more obvious examples Demographics EditHistorical populationCensus Pop 1920584 19303 730538 7 19408 175119 2 195011 23037 4 196013 65821 6 197014 1773 8 198013 307 6 1 199012 959 2 6 200012 945 0 1 201013 1471 6
