The McDonald District originally came to be in 1870 when Colonel Mark L McDonald created his new subdivision, then called the ‘McDonald Addition’, with a broad, tree lined avenue, that came to bear his name. The avenue was graded, with wide sidewalks, curbs and ornamented with many growing shade trees that McDonald planted himself, with guidance from Luther Burbank.
