Named for oilman William Benjamin Scott (1868-1920) and his wife Luna Mentora Scott (1869-1925), who in 1915 purchased Montebello’s oldest building, the Sánchez Adobe, along with 45 acres around it. The Scotts are credited with restoring the 1845 building, which had fallen into disrepair. It remained in the family for decades: their daughter Josephine got married here in 1932 as part of a double wedding. Josephine and her brother Keith sold off most of the land by the 1950s but held on to the adobe until officially donating it to the City of Montebello in 1972.
