David Burbank was a dentist in an era where such a profession was both lucrative and challenging. He built his first practice in Maine and saw greater prospects in San Francisco. He moved to Los Angeles to the old Pueblo Plaza area and grew wealthy. When the opportunity arose, Burbank purchased two San Fernando Valley properties, Rancho San Rafael and Rancho La Providencia, which he combined and named for himself. Like his neighbors Issac Lankershim and Issac Van Nuys, Dr. Burbank and his wife Clara began the raising of sheep. Their ranch house stood on the land that is now the back lot of Warner Brothers Studio. David Burbank ( 1821 - 1895)
