history
The settlement of Burbank was founded by David Burbank , who bought the land in 1867 and started a sheep farm around the settlement. The place became a city in 1887. The seat of the city administration is the Burbank City Hall , which was built from 1941 to 1943 . Burbank is one of the few communities in the San Fernando Valley that has retained its independence from Los Angeles. The reason for this is that Burbank has its own drinking water reserves, while most of the surrounding communities had to pay for the connection to the water supply with the loss of their independence at the beginning of the 20th century.
