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	Citrus Union High School, originally founded on July 14, 1891 in the Barnes Hotel was the first union high school in California, and was located on the southwest corner of Citrus Avenue and Broadway in the then-town of Gladstone. In 1902 it was rebuilt between Azusa and Glendora on "old Dalton Hill" for the then-significant sum of $12,990 (nearly $1,000 over budget), and again opened its doors to students in 1904. In 1920 a bond for $300,000 to build a new, larger school passed, and on June 15, 1922 members of the Masonic Lodge laid the cornerstone of what would be Citrus Union High School and Junior College (seen here), built in a beautiful Spanish Renaissance style by architects John C. Austin and W. Horace Austin.; Photo is a wider view of #00076298.
