Duarte

Duarte sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County as a residential community with neighborhoods spread throughout the area. The city has parks, recreational spaces, and pathways that residents and visitors can access.

The land that became this city traces back to a Mexican-era land grant in 1841 that established the foundation for settlement in this area. Over the following generations, the land developed into the modern community it is today.

The local historical museum displays documents and photographs that show how this community developed over time. Visitors can see what daily life looked like for earlier residents and how the area changed.

The city connects easily to Route 66 and offers various pathways to explore the area. Comfortable shoes are recommended, especially if you plan to use the hiking trails near the mountains.

A major medical research center dedicated to cancer treatment operates within the city and conducts studies recognized internationally. This institution has shaped the reputation of the place for many decades.
