Historical Data	Glendora was founded on April 1, 1887 by George D. Whitcomb and was officially incorporated as a City in 1911. In the mid-1930s, nearly all of the city's 4,500 acres of land were cultivated for citrus fruit; by the late 1950s agriculture had given way to large-scale residential development. As of 2006, population of the city known as the "Pride of the Foothills" was estimated at 51,608.
Description	Looking west on Foothill Blvd., just east of Michigan Ave. as two vehicles approach the intersection. City Hall can be seen on the north side of Foothill (between the two trees), with the short-lived Glendora Bank and Mission Theater farther back. In the distance, seen across Foothill Blvd., was an electrically lighted sign welcoming all visitors to this lovely city. This photo was taken in the late 1920s.
