Lincoln Park Historic District

Lincoln Park Historic District is a residential neighborhood in Pomona with over 800 buildings built between 1890 and 1940. The area extends from McKinley Avenue in the north to Pasadena Street in the south, displaying architectural styles from that era across its blocks.

The neighborhood emerged in the late 1800s as a residential area for middle-class families during Pomona's growth period. Recognition as a National Register of Historic Places site in 2004 confirmed its importance to the city's early development.

Four historic churches including Pilgrim Congregational and St. Paul's Episcopal sit within the neighborhood and reflect the religious diversity of past residents. These buildings remain part of daily life and show how different communities shaped the area.

Visitors can explore the neighborhood best on foot to observe architectural details and the street layout across the blocks. Good walking shoes are recommended since the terrain is relatively flat and allows for longer walks.

Peacocks roam freely through the neighborhood streets, giving the place an unusual character. These birds have become part of the local identity and continue to surprise visitors.
