"The city was [NOT] named for the nearby estate of Henry E. Huntington,....], a claim that is prima facie nonsense.
See the San Marino website for the origin of the name:
"San Marino History
"The principal portions of San Marino were included in a Mexican Land Grant in 1830 to an Indian lady named Senora Victoria Reid, the widow of an Englishman. She named her Rancho, Huerta de Cuati. Prior to this grant , the area was part of the San Gabriel Mission (the "Old Mill" was the grist mill for the Mission), and before that was occupied by the Gabrielino Indians with their village located at what is now Huntington School.
"In 1852, Mrs. Reid deeded her Rancho to Don Benito Wilson. Later, Wilson deeded the main portion to J. de Barth Shorb, who named his Rancho after his grandfather's plantation in Maryland, which in turn had received its name from the Republic of San Marino, in Italy...."

Isn't there another private school? Like Clairbourne or something like that?
that's near by but not in the city Kiwidude 07:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Kiwidude's right. Carver really shouldn't be in San Marion either, but the city expanded the boarders. If you look on a map, Carver just juts out. 69.108.93.41 ( talk) 22:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Anyone know what the deal is with so many taxicabs, repair trucks and other commercial vehicles throughout Los Angeles County having stickers on their bumpers saying licensed in San Marino? Far more San Marino licenses on these commercial vehicles than any other city, by my observation. Why is that? San Marino running a discount on licenses or something?
Yup. 99 cents a license, lol. JK. Note: I see a taxi about once a week in San Marino. All the cars are Mercedes, Porsches, Lams, Lexus', etc. No ugly cars that muck up the scene. =) Bragging, duh. 69.108.93.41 ( talk) 22:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
The San Marino sticker on vehicles represents a business license issued by the City of San Marino. It's required when you are conducting business within the City. (Contractors, gardeners, taxicabs etc...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.130.210.65 ( talk) 18:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
San Marino is highly restrictive of commercial operations in the city. It is one of the few cities that requires commercial vehicles to have permits to work in the City. On the other side it is a lucrative place to operate. Saltysailor ( talk) 05:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Disturbia was not filmed in San Marino. It was filmed in Whittier, CA...but Turner's house was filmed in South Pasadena. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.220.85 ( talk) 22:23, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you reverted a couple of my edits to the notable people section. I gather that you want to add a somewhat in-depth description to each person, and I understand that, but right now it is making the section seem cluttered and somewhat unreadable. Having a basic description of the person with the link to their page (should a reader want to find out more) should suffice and is typically the norm for a city's notable residents page. I also added a couple more people to the list and removed a couple that did not have their own articles. Just trying to clean it up a bit, hope you understand. Thanks!

I totally agree with both HkCaGu and Tedder. Short phrases is what has been n the article and which I reverted once until Gordon changed it twice. Yes, Tedder, I believe a must have a tattoo somewhere that says " "It take two to edit war--signed Tedder" somewhere! Since that has been infinitely clear for some years, I stopped at the first hint of it evolving into an edit war! Thank you for your input. I will be glad to count the words in each "phrase" to conform to your (and mine) standards.) Thank you for your input. Namaste — DocOfSoc • Talk • 23:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I removed the following from the lead:
The city is one of the wealthiest places in the nation in terms of household income. [1] By extension, with a median home price of $2,699,098 [2], San Marino is one of the most expensive and exclusive communities in the United States."

Here's my response:
Not sure why I am being accused of the edit war when it is Magnolia that continues to do this. I made these original edits nearly a year ago and Magnolia continuously reverted them. I finally laid out my reasons in the post you see above, roughly a year ago. For a year there was no activity, until recently when Magnolia awoke from his hibernation and continued to remove my edits without any substantive reasoning. At this point in time, none of my above points have been directly addressed. Before you revert my edits again, please take the time to address my concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.252.182.158 ( talk) 02:51, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
