Histori
Asal nama
The city takes its name from the ancient republic of San Marino, founded by Saint Marinus who left his home in Dalmatia (modern Croatia) at the time of the persecution of Diocletian Christians. Marinus took refuge in Monte Titano on the Italian peninsula, where he built a chapel and founded a monastic community in 301 A.D. The growing state of the monastery is the world's oldest surviving republic.
The San Marino City Seal, California is modeled on the republic, depicting the Three Towers of San Marino each covered with a bronze clump, surrounded by a heart-shaped scroll with two rounds and candy (unknown significance) above. The crown representing the monarchy was originally replaced by five stars representing five members of the city's governing body. Below the city seal is crossed palm leaves and orange branches.
The city celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2013, including a publication by the San Marino Historical Society of a 268-page book, San Marino, A Centennial History, by Elizabeth Pomeroy. In September 2014, this book and author Elizabeth Pomeroy received the prestigious Award for Leadership Award in History from the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).
Initial history
The San Marino site was originally occupied by the village of Tongva (GabrieleÃÆ' Â ± o) India which is located approximately where the Huntington School is now. The area is part of the land of Mission San Gabriel. (The "Old Mill" is a Mission grain mill.) The main part of San Marino was included in the Mexican land grant of 1838 from 128 acres to Victoria Bartolmea Reid, an Indian GabrieleÃÆ'Â ±. (After her first husband, also a GabrieleÃÆ' Â ± o, died in 1836 due to smallpox, she remarried with Scotsman Hugo Reid in 1837). He calls the Rancho Huerta de Cuati property. After the death of Hugo Reid in 1852, SeÃÆ' Â ± ora Reid sold his rancho in 1854 to Don Benito Wilson, owner of the first Anglo Rancho San Pascual. In 1873, Don Benito delivered to his son-in-law, James DeBarth Shorb, 500 acres (2.0 km 2 ), including Rancho Huerta de Cuati, named "San Marino" after his grandfather's estate in Maryland, which, in turn, is named after the Republic of San Marino located on the Italian Peninsula in Europe.
In 1903, the Shorb ranch was bought by Henry E. Huntington (1850-1927), who built a large house on the property. The Shorb/Huntington rancho site is occupied today by the Huntington Library, which houses a collection of renowned art, research and rare book libraries, and botanical gardens. In 1913 three main ranchos Wilson, Patton, and Huntington, along with areas divided from them and smaller ranchos, such as Stoneman, White, and Rose ranchos, were included as the city of San Marino.
The first mayor of San Marino is George Smith Patton (1856-1927). The son of a United States colonel who died in the US Civil War (also named George Smith Patton, 1833-1864), Patton graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1877, just before moving west. He married Ruth Wilson, daughter of Don Benito Wilson. Their son is a World War II general, George S. Patton, Junior.
For the previous generation of Southern California, San Marino is known for its wealth of money and as a stronghold of the WASP nobility in the region. By the middle of the century, other European ethnic groups had become the majority; in recent decades, Chinese and Taiwanese immigrants have represented over 60% of the population, probably because of its location in the San Gabriel Valley, known as a popular destination for East Asian immigrants.

Landmarks
San Marino is the location of Huntington Library and gardens. In 1919 Henry Huntington provided limited access to art collections, and to rare books and historical documents, housed in the library and in the large Neoclassical-Palladian mansion, as well as to surrounding botanical gardens, all collectively known as "The Huntington Library , Art Collection, and Botanical Garden ", or" The Huntington ", to the public.
El Molino Viejo ("The Old Mill"), completed around 1816 as a mill mill for Mission San Gabriel Arcangels, in San Marino. The original two-story structure measured 53 feet (16 m) to 26 feet (7.9 m). This is the oldest commercial building in Southern California. It is located on the historic former land of Rancho Huerta de Cuati.
The Edwin Hubble House: From 1925 to 1953, this two-storey house is home to one of America's 20th-largest astronomers, Edwin Hubble, who, among other achievements, discovered the extragalactic nebula and their separation from one another. This is a National Historic Landmark.
The Michael White Adobe House, located on the middle school campus and home archives of the San Marino Historical Society.
The University of Southern California has a home in San Marino that is used as the residence of the President of the University. Housing and yards are often used for university presidents.
Across the City Hall is Centennial Clock, situated on the northeast corner of Huntington Drive and San Marino Avenue, donated to the public in 2005 by the Rotary Club of San Marino in the 100th anniversary of Rotary International. Dedicated on July 4, 2005, nine-foot-high hours include time capsules with artifacts contributed by residents and community organizations to be opened on July 4, 2039 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Club of San Marino.
In the center of San Marino is Lacy Park, a grass and 30-acre (120,000 m 2 ) trees. Originally named Lake Wilson in 1875, the land was bought by the city in 1925 and is dedicated as a park. Families in San Marino have enjoyed this park for years. Picnic areas are often the location of music concerts, community events, and pancake breakfasts. Inside the park there are two loops running: an inner loop about 3/4 mile long, and an outer loop about 1 mile (1.6 km) in length. Dogs are accepted with their owners, provided they are locked up. In recent years, proposals from SMHS Brent and Derek Barker alumni to build a dog-only park on the western edge of a land-based park have been suspended due to harsh opposition from some of the city's older residents. The park includes six championship tennis courts and a pro shop, run by the San Marino Tennis Foundation. At the western entrance of the park is Rose Arbor, which has special significance for the people of San Marino. It is sixty years old and has long been a source of beauty and tranquility for many inhabitants. In recent years the care and care of Rose Arbor itself has been augmented by the personal donations of residents who have chosen to sponsor individual posts. This park recently built a memorial to General George S. Patton (native of San Marino) as well as a great monument to the Armed Forces along with a sad statue of a soldier. The warning includes the names of all military personnel from San Marino.
The city's local newspaper office is located near the city's most famous street, Huntington Drive. "The San Marino Tribune" has been the city's official newspaper since 1929. There are two parts of the weekly papers, the "A" and the "B" sections, the difference being that it includes not only the San Marino news but also the Pasadena, San Gabriel, Alhambra, Arcadia and South Pasadena.
City politics
The San Marino Municipal Government is a five-member city council, elected by the people for a four-year term, in elections held in March of a strange calendar year. Holding elections in odd years greatly reduced the number of voters, but the city did not propose a proposal to consolidate its election by state elections. By 2015, the state enacted legislation to require municipalities to consolidate their elections from 1 January 2018. The five council members worked without financial compensation and selected one of their own members as Mayor.
The San Marino City Council page states: "San Marino was formed to protect your personal rights and to control the growth and activities of the City in such a way that every resident would be guaranteed a pleasant place to live with minimal disturbance, with the assurance that the value of his property would be protected by strict zoning regulations, it is your City Council's desire to introduce old and new residents with the history and background of San Marino, your many advantages and responsibilities as a citizen. "

Zoning
The city is divided into seven zones, based on minimum lot size. The smallest lot size is about 4,500 square feet (420 m 2 ), with an average lot of over 30,000 square feet (2,800m 2 ). Due to this and other factors, most of the houses in San Marino, built between 1920 and 1950, do not resemble houses around the Southern California neighborhood (with the exception, perhaps, from the neighboring parts of Pasadena). San Marino also fosters a sense of historic preservation among homeowners. With little exceptions, rigorous design reviews and city zoning laws have so far prevented the development of large houses found elsewhere in Los Angeles.
San Marino is located on 34Ã, Â ° 7? 22? N 118Ã, Â ° 6? 47? W (34.122658, -118.112964).
According to the US Census Bureau, the city has an area of ​​3.8 square miles (9.8 km 2 ), almost all land.
San Marino severely limits commercial operations in the city. This is one of the few cities that require commercial vehicles to have permission to work within the city. The reason is that commercial vehicle operators and service providers, such as gardeners, pool service providers and maintenance workers, are more likely to cause social disturbances within the city, thus should be authorized for crime control and prosecution purposes. These and other regulations, including restrictions on building apartments, houses and parking lots, are some of the more obvious examples.
School
On September 9, 1913, the first San Marino school opened at the corner of Monterey Road, (later called Calle de Lopez) and Oak Knoll, in what is known as Old Mayberry Home. There are three teachers and thirty-five pupils, the grade of kindergarten to the eighth; High school students attended South Pasadena High School for 50 years, until San Marino High School was founded in 1955. San Marino Secondary School graduated first class in 1956. The high school mascot, "The Titans", originated from Mt. Titano, in the Republic of San Marino.
San Marino High School is located on the former Carver Elementary School site. In 1996, secondary school reconstruction began and schools are now equipped with new laboratories, classrooms, and ethernet connections, mainly supported by bond issues and rigorous fundraising by the San Marino Endowment School. New buildings include a new cafeteria, orchestra and band room, a dance studio, a journalism laboratory and a renovated auditorium, as well as a renovated baseball field and a new football field/track. Despite major and recent increases, and the approval of two bonds and two parcel taxes for education, the San Marino School Board is now considering asking city voters to approve a $ 120 million bond for an additional increase. The School Board budget totals about $ 3 million in a given year.
San Marino High School is part of the San Marino Unified School District. Its public funding comes with personal donations collected through the San Marino School Endowment Foundation. Each year, the Foundation collects the necessary funds to balance the District budget. To date, the San Marino School Foundation has contributed $ 18,268,485 to schools since its inception in March 1980.
The 2013 California Academic Performance Index report is named San Marino Unified School District as the best school district in California for 11 consecutive years, with a score of 953 points out of 1,000 possibilities.

- Valentine Elementary School
- Carver Elementary School

Huntington School, after the "first citizen" of San Marino. In 1953, a newly completed K. L Carver Elementary was built at its current location on San Gabriel Boulevard and named after 19-year-old school council member K. L. Carver. Stoneman Primary School, named after Governor George Stoneman, who lives in San Marino, is no longer used for teaching by the San Marino School District. The former school is now rented by the San Marino Town Recreation Department and the home of the special education staff of San Marino Integrated School District.
