Things to do in Glendale
Located in the Verdugo Mountains in Los Angeles County, Glendale is a city full of cultural tourist spots and beautiful scenery. Glendale is the fourth largest city in Los Angeles County and is home to many notable people like John Wayne and Nathan Kress of iCarly.
This area of California was inhabited by the Tongva people for a long time before the European settlers arrived in 1798. In that same year, the early settlers received a land grant that allowed them to use the surrounding area as a grazing area for their livestock. When the city was incorporated in 1905, it started to be developed by Leslie Coombs Brand who settled in the area around 1904.
Because of the rich history in the area, there are a lot of places that families and tourists alike can visit for a wonderful time. There are 11 properties listed in Glendale on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as over 100 listings on the Glendale Register of Historical Resources. There is a beautiful tree in this city called the ‘Oak of Peace’ that was established in 1847.
