Edgar Rice Burroughs →
The town of Tarzana, California was named after Tarzan. In 1919 Burroughs purchased a large ranch north of Los Angeles, California which he named “Tarzana”. The citizens of the community that sprang up around the ranch voted to adopt that name when their town was incorporated in 1928. The Burroughs crater on Mars is named in Burroughs’ honor.
