Sierra Madre, Residential city in Los Angeles County, California.
Sierra Madre spans across 2.96 square miles in the San Gabriel Valley foothills, neighboring the Angeles National Forest at 252 meters elevation.
The area transformed from Tongva Indian territory to an incorporated city in 1907, with Charles Worthington Jones serving as the first mayor.
The annual Wistaria Festival celebrates the local giant Wisteria vine, planted in the 1890s and recognized by Guinness World Records.
The city administration provides residents with bear-resistant waste containers and implements water conservation programs to maintain sustainable resources.
The Mount Wilson Trail, dating from 1864, continues to serve as a primary recreational path connecting Sierra Madre to the San Gabriel Mountains.
