History of Pomona

Diamond Bar: A Cattle Brand, Not a Gem RoadyGoat

1918

Diamond Bar, California sounds like jewelry, like a sparkling stone set on a band of gold. But there's no gem and no jeweler in this story. The name comes from a cattle brand. Back in nineteen eighteen, a rancher registered a brand for his herd: a diamond shape sitting over a bar, a simple iron mark burned into hide. That brand, a diamond over a bar, gave the whole place its name. The ranch land eventually became one of the largest planned suburban communities in the country, but it kept the name of the old cattle outfit. So a town that sounds like a high-end gem shop is really named for a hot iron and a few thousand head of cattle.

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.
