A Traveler's Guide to Burbank

Burbank is a city that is located in the southern portion of the US state of California. California is located on the western Pacific coast of the United States. It is the largest state by population. Burbank is in Los Angeles County and sits at the east end of the San Fernando Valley approximately fifteen miles north of downtown Los Angeles. Burbank has been called "The Media Capital of the World" because several entertainment companies are headquartered there such as Warner Bros., NBC Universal, and Viacom. English is the primary spoken and written language of Burbank although a growing percentage of the population speaks Spanish.

The city was named in honor of Dr. David Burbank who originally purchased most of the land where the city now sits. The area was finally settled in the 1870's. As Los Angeles to the south grew larger so did the need for raw materials. Burbank became a railroad hub that shipped many raw materials and goods south to Los Angeles. Today Burbank is a busy commercial city with a heavy media influence.

Burbank has a Mediterranean climate which means mild temperatures year round. Summer temperatures generally stay in the 70's or 80's Fahrenheit while winter temperatures rarely dip below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer is the dry season with scarce rain. Most of the areas rainfall occurs during the months of January through March.
