Rancho San Rafael was a 36,403-acre (147.32 km2) Spanish land grant bordering the Los Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco in present day Los Angeles County, California, given in 1784 to Jose Maria Verdugo. The rancho includes the present day cities of Glendale, Eagle Rock, La Cañada, Montrose, and Verdugo City. The rancho's boundaries were primarily defined by the Verdugo Mountains, Arroyo Seco, the Los Angeles River: the boundary followed north along the east bank of the river, and wrapped westerly around Griffith Park to a point near the park's Travel Town Museum.

Famous quotes containing the word san:
“Today, San Francisco has experienced a double tragedy of incredible proportions. As acting mayor, I order an immediate state of mourning in our city. The city and county of San Francisco must and will pull itself together at this time. We will carry on as best as we possibly can.... I think we all have to share the same sense of shame and the same sense of outrage.”
—Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
