History of Glendora

Glendora, CA RoadyGoat

Glendora sits nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, a quiet residential community known for its citrus heritage and tree-lined streets. It's a place where the scent of orange blossoms once filled the air, a far cry from the bustling entertainment industry often associated with Southern California. Yet, even this tranquil town has seen its share of notable figures pass through. While perhaps not a celebrity hotspot on par with Hollywood or Beverly Hills, Glendora boasts connections to individuals who have made their mark in various fields.

San Dimas, CA RoadyGoat

West Covina, CA RoadyGoat

West Covina, a place that feels like a comfortable blend of suburban calm and cultural energy, owes much to its agricultural roots. Citrus farming was a major driver of its early growth, spurred on by the convenience of the Pacific Electric Railway. In fact, for a time, the city was even nicknamed "The Canary City" because of the many canary breeders who lived there. While that moniker has faded, echoes of the past linger in the street names and the architecture of some older homes. The city's cultural heritage is also reflected in its culinary landscape. Taco Lita, a popular Mexican fast-food chain, originated here in 1966, a testament to the enduring influence of Latino culture in the region. And though the devastating flood of 1969 necessitated significant infrastructure improvements, the spirit of the community endured. While the Lakers winning championships at Staples Center might feel a world away, the pride in Southern California success is palpable.
