San Marino, Ca

San Marino, originally inhabited by the Tongva Indians, now hosts the Huntington School. The land was once part of the San Gabriel Mission. In 1838, a Mexican land grant of 128 acres went to Victoria Bartolmea Reid, a Gabrieleña Indian. After her first husband’s death, she remarried Scotsman Hugo Reid. The property, known as Rancho Huerta de Cuati, changed hands over the years. In 1873, James DeBarth Shorb, son-in-law of Don Benito Wilson, named it “San Marino” after his Maryland plantation, which, in turn, was named after the Republic of San Marino in Europe.
