Located approximately 27 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Glendora offers convenient access to major commercial, cultural, educational and recreational areas in Southern California. Founded in 1887, Glendora was officially incorporated as a City in The City remained a small citrus-producing community until the late 1950s, when agriculture gave way to large scale residential development. Today, more than 50,000 residents enjoy Glendora s excellent public and private schools, lush parks, comprehensive community services and one of the lowest crime rates in Los Angeles County.
