Glendale, California, is a land of fun, sun, diversity, and more. The area’s rich history covers much, from its older beginnings as part of the Rancho San Rafael to its eventual incorporation as the “town of Glendale” and beyond. There’s a lot to go over, which means it’s no surprise if there are some bits you might not be readily aware of (even if you are a longtime resident of the apartments for rent in Glendale, CA). In particular, we’re talking about the Rockhaven Sanitarium. America’s first feminist asylum:
“Founded in 1926, Rockhaven has several claims to fame, and one of the most unique is that it was America’s first woman-founded and woman-only humane health treatment facility for mild mental and nervous disorders.”
Believe it or not, such establishments were once a common sight.
