Geographic features supporting the name, "Burbank"
The area has been defined by several political entities since 1906 beginning with the Burbank School District, and shortly afterward the Burbank Fire District, which expanded the community far beyond its traditional, political and unofficial boundaries. The Burbank Sanitary District and later the Burbank Community Advisory Council became identifying local political entities.The second Burbank fire station, sold in the late 1970s, is on the northeast corner of Scott Street and Flagg Avenue. The unusually-high garage door is the only clue today that the residence was once a fire station. The fire district became part of Santa Clara County Fire Department, (a.k.a. Central Fire District,) about 1960 and is served by San Jose Fire under a contract.
The Burbank Cinema movie theater is another local landmark supporting use of the name. It is no longer a working theater. Attached to the theater and on the right out of frame is Stan's Skin Diving Shop, another long-time landmark.
The Burbank Business Circle is the name of an undedicated roadway in the shopping center on the southwest corner of Bascom Avenue and San Carlos Street. The shopping center houses Savers' Thrift Store, Bank of the West, and long-time landmark Time Delicatessen.
