In 2008 the city estimated that the population had increased to 60,841.

It is situated within what was once [[Rancho San Rafael]] of the Spanish/Mexican era. Its boundaries are roughly the [[Arroyo Seco Parkway]] ([[California State Route 110|California Route 110]]) on the southeast, the city limits of [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]] on the northeast, Oak Grove Drive on the north, and Avenue 51 on the west. Primary thoroughfares include York Boulevard and [[Figueroa Street]]. ==History== The area was originally discovered thousands of years ago by ancestors of the [[Chumash people]], and would later be settled by the [[Tongva]]. After the founding of Los Angeles in 1784, the Corporal of the Guard at the [[Mission San Gabriel Arcángel|San Gabriel mission]], [[Jose Maria Verdugo]], was granted the 36,403 acre [[Rancho San Rafael]] which included the present day Highland Park. Drought in the late 1800s resulted in economic hardship for the Verdugo family, and Rancho San Rafael was eventually auctioned off in 1869 for $3,500 over an unpaid loan. The San Rafael tract was purchased by Andrew Glassell and Albert J. Chapman, who leased it out to sheep herders. In 1885 during the 1880s land boom, it was sold to George Morgan and Albert Judson, who combined it with other parcels they had purchased from the Verdugo family to create the Highland Park tract in 1886.<ref name="Departures: The Highlands">{{cite news|url=http://www.kcet.org/socal/departures/highland-park/the-highlands/|title=The Highlands|website=Departures | publisher=Kcet.org|accessdate=2013-10-27}}</ref><ref name=HighlandParkPreservationPlan/> Two rail lines were built to Highland Park, which helped the town to survive as the 1880s land boom ended.<ref name=HighlandParkPreservationPlan/> Highland Park was annexed to Los Angeles in 1895.
