 MONTROSE-VERDUGO CITY Community of Glendale |
|
The community of
Montrose-Verdugo City, is located in the Foothills nestled between the
San Gabriel and Verdugo Mountains just north of Glendale, dates back to
the early 19th century. The subdivision of present day Montrose took
place when developers Holmes and Watson held a contest to name the new
300 acre tract, offering one of the lots as a prize.
On the opening day of the sale February 22, 1913, the new community
was named Montrose by former Pennsylvanians as a reminder of their home
state's Montrose. The name was also popular with rose growers and
literary people who were reminded of the novel "Legend of Montrose" by
Sir Walter Scott.
Montrose Avenue was intended to be the main business district
street, but business developed along Honolulu Avenue, which was named by
a resident raised in Hawaii and homesick for his birthplace.
In the 1920s a two-block business district was established along
Honolulu Avenue, forerunner of the
Montrose Shopping Park which opened in 1967. This beautiful Foothill
community has the Indian Springs Shopping Center, a small town
atmosphere that infuses a wide variety of services offered to residents,
and one of the finest school systems in America, and it is also the site
of the annual Arts & Crafts Festival in June, the Oktoberfest, and the
Glendale-Montrose-Verdugo
City Christmas
Parade.
Today
Montrose-Verdugo City
maintain their identities and are still communities of Glendale governed
by that city. All the services ranging from business permits to public
utilities fall under the jurisdiction of the
City of Glendale.
Meet the man we call Mr. Montrose Frank
Roberts!
