Azusa Civic Center is an administrative complex in Mission and Spanish Revival style located on Foothill Boulevard that houses city hall, an auditorium, and fire department headquarters under one extended property. The grounds contain multiple buildings serving various municipal and administrative functions for the area.
The complex began in 1904 with the relocation of the public library and was later expanded through major construction projects in 1928 and 1945. These building phases shaped the current form and layout of the facility.
The place serves as a gathering point for the city's annual celebration and draws people to various community events held throughout the year. The architecture and grounds create a focal point where the local community comes together.
The location is best accessed on foot from the downtown area, with the complex spreading across several city blocks near the center. Visitors can expect the site to be most active during business hours and community event times.
The location gained national recognition through the Jack Benny Program radio show, which referenced Azusa in a recurring comedic segment. This mention in a widely-heard radio program brought the town attention beyond its local area.
