In the early 1900s, Henry E. Huntington purchased land to build a mansion on. The land around was divided into smaller properties, though still large enough for wealthy estates. In 1913, all of these properties were incorporated as the city of San Marino.

To this day, the city continues to have the wealthy air that Huntington founded it with. It is one of the most exclusive and expensive cities in the area, full of gated estates with sprawling lawns and high levels of privacy.
