Glendale: The Largest Armenian-American City in the United States
Glendale stretches across the foothills just northeast of downtown Los Angeles, separated from the city only by Griffith Park and the Los Angeles River. Around one-third of Glendale's population claims Armenian descent, the highest concentration of Armenian-Americans anywhere in the United States. Armenian immigration accelerated during the 1970s following political turmoil in the Middle East, and again in the 1990s after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Today Armenian-language signage, churches, schools, and media organizations operate throughout the city.
The Americana at Brand, a mixed-use outdoor shopping and residential development completed in 2008 by Caruso Affiliated, sits at the center of downtown Glendale. Its design deliberately echoes the earlier Grove development in Fairfax, with a trolley, fountain, and central lawn. The Glendale Galleria across the street opened in 1976 and predates the Americana by three decades. Together they form one of the largest retail concentrations in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Before retail defined it, Glendale was associated with aerospace. The Grand Central Air Terminal, built in 1929, was Los Angeles County's first airport and a major stop on early transcontinental air routes. Charles Lindbergh took off from Grand Central during his 1927 triumph tour. Lockheed and Grand Central Aircraft Company operated at the field through World War II before commercial aviation moved to Burbank and LAX. The terminal building still stands, restored by the Walt Disney Company, which uses the surrounding site for its Disney Imagineering operations. Forest Lawn Memorial Park on the city's southern edge contains the graves of many early film industry figures.
