Alhambra – a city of sun and savvy. It was founded in the 1880's and later became an incorporated city on July 11, 1903

The principal part of the land within Alhambra's present boundaries was included in a 1771 grant made to Mission San Gabriel, five years before the birth of our nation. There were no orchards or vineyards in San Gabriel Valley then, only dry un-cultivated fields broken by arroyos and low-lying hills from the Mission San Gabriel west to the small Indian village called "Yang-na," which later become Los Angeles.

In 1915, Alhambra became a chartered city. By 1910, the population grew to 5,000 and by the end of the 1930's, population was nearly 40,000. Today Alhambra is a sophisticated city with a large Chinese population. It is one of the most eclectic and diverse areas in all of California. The population is now up to 91,000 and enjoys a strong economy and residency that is growing rapidly, making the demand for real estate and development.

In Alhambra, you will experience big-city California life in a smaller community. The closeness and welcoming feeling of Alhambra is what makes Los Angeles county one of the best in the San Gabriel Valley!
