Historical Data	Prior to this first building, services were being held in tents that had been set up on two lots that had been purchased on Merton Ave. in the heart of Eagle Rock's valley. By 1925, as the city's population boomed, a new church complex as well as a school and convent were built on the same location. Eagle Rock is a neighborhood in northeastern Los Angeles that derives its name from a massive boulder at the district's northern edge, which contains an indentation that casts a vaguely bird-shaped shadow on the rock at certain times of day. In 1906 Eagle Rock became an independent city and was incorporated in 1911 with a population of approximately 600; in 1920, population had grown to 2,250. Just one year later, in 1921, this figure had leaped to 3,800, and by 2005, the U.S. census estimated the population at approximately 27,875.
