San Marino Founding Fathers Shaped a Quiet Valley
San Marino began as an orange groves enclave in Los Angeles County, incorporated in 1913 to avert annexation by Alhambra or Pasadena. Key figures included George Patton, William Valentine, Edwin Hart, Richard Lacy, and E. H. Groenendyke, with Huntington interests guiding early governance and development. The Patton-Huntington alliance helped set the city’s future, while Patton served as mayor until 1924 and Huntington’s influence shaped the council’s vision.
