About Burbank, California
Burbank is a city built by people, pride and progress. These three ingredients turned a tiny, rural town into the thriving community it is today. Located in the southeastern end of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, California, the city’s continued growth was tied to aviation and entertainment. Both industries came to the city because of its good location and the available space. The City was named after David Burbank, a New Hampshire–born dentist and entrepreneur who established a sheep ranch there in 1867. The population of Burbank was 103,340 at the 2010 U.S. Census.
Billed as the “Media Capital of the World” and only a few miles northeast of Hollywood, numerous media and entertainment companies are headquartered or have significant production facilities in the city, including Warner Bros. Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company, Nickelodeon Animation Studios, The Burbank Studios, Cartoon Network Studios with the West Coast branch of Cartoon Network, and Insomniac Games. The Hollywood Burbank Airport was the location of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, which produced some of the most secret and technologically advanced airplanes, including the U-2 spy planes that uncovered the Soviet Union missile components in Cuba in October 1962.
The City consists of two distinct areas: a downtown/foothill section, in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains, and the flatland section. The city was referred to as “Beautiful Downtown Burbank” on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, as both shows were taped at NBC’s former studios.
