Glendora, Residential city at San Gabriel Valley foothills, Los Angeles County, United States.
Glendora spans across 19.51 square miles of land area, featuring neighborhoods with Victorian houses, bungalows, and modern residential complexes near the San Gabriel Mountains.
George D. Whitcomb established the city in 1887 by subdividing 300 acres of land, naming it after his wife Leadora combined with their valley residence location.
The downtown district along Glendora Avenue contains numerous restaurants, shops, and the Mutual Orange Distributors building that represents the agricultural heritage of the region.
The city maintains several public parks, educational facilities, and a public library, while the Angeles National Forest provides additional recreational opportunities for residents.
