Welcome to Glendora, CA
91740, 91741

Glendora is nestled at the base of the scenic San Gabriel Mountains, in the eastern
portion of Los Angeles County. Located approximately 27 miles from downtown Los
Angeles , Glendora offers convenient access to major commercial, cultural,
educational and recreational areas in Southern California.

Founded in 1887, Glendora was officially incorporated as a City in 1911. The City
remained a small citrus-producing community until the late 1950s, when agriculture
gave way to large scale residential development.

Today, over 50,000 residents enjoy Glendora's
excellent public and private schools, lush parks,
comprehensive community services and one of the
lowest crime rates in the nation.

Glendora's diversified business community ranges
from the downtown "Village," where personalized
service is provided by several owner-operated retail stores, to corporate
headquarters of major U.S. and international firms--including Rain Bird Sprinkler
Manufacturing Company and the National Hot Rod Association.

Glendora is also one of Southern California's most attractive residential
communities, with a variety of homes, from cozy turn-of-the-century cottages to
prestigious executive hillside estates.

Quality education, both public and private, is yet another shining attribute of the
Glendora community. According to 1994-95 State testing results, Glendora High
School students scored 30-50 percent higher than State averages in reading,
writing and math. In addition, a recent graduate follow-up survey showed that
approximately 80 percent of Glendora High School graduates go on to higher
education.

From tree lined neighborhood streets and quaint downtown Village shops to the
modern architecture of the Financial Way business center, Glendora is a haven from
the fast pace of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Welcome to Glendora, the
"Pride of the Foothills."
