Physical Description	1 photograph :b&w
Historical Data	In 1901 a pair of developers by the name of A.L. Burbank and E.V. Baker came to control a 100-acre tract of land called Sunrise Tract that had once belonged to the prosperous Lugo Family. Burbank and Baker subdivided the land and changed the name of the development to La Park. In 1902 they enticed Henry Huntington to extend a line of his Pacific Electric Railway to and through their land and granted Huntington a right-of-way for his railway along what is now Randolph Street; they re-named their development Huntington Park. On August 20, 1906 the vote to incorporate Huntington Park as its own city passed 77 to 17. Eleven days later, on September 1, 1906, a population of 526 residents was officially established and recognized as The City of Huntington Park.
Description	Huntington Park residents pose for a picture at a community salvage yard. Almost every person shown here is holding up some type of metal scrap or automobile part found in the yard. Piles of various scrap materials, automobile fragments and other refuse are seen piled up behind the group. A sign in front of the piles reads, "Sacrifice Sale $5750 Owner Within." The exact location of the salvage yard is unknown.
