South El Monte Summary
History
South El Monte is a city located in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, California. It is bordered by El Monte to the north, Rosemead to the east, Pico Rivera to the south, and the San Gabriel River to the west. The city was incorporated in 1958 and has a population of approximately 20,000 people.
The area that is now South El Monte has a long and rich history. The first inhabitants of the area were the Tongva people, who lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The first Europeans to settle in the area were Spanish missionaries, who established the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel in 1771. The mission was the first in the area and served as a base for the Spanish colonization of California.
In the mid-1800s, the area was divided into large ranchos, which were granted to prominent Californios. One of these ranchos was Rancho Potrero Grande, which was granted to Don Antonio Maria Lugo in 1845. Lugo's son, Antonio Maria Lugo, inherited the rancho and built a large adobe home on the property. This home, known as the Lugo Adobe, still stands today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the late 1800s, the area began to be developed as a residential community. The first subdivision was established in 1887 and was named South El Monte. The area quickly grew in popularity and by the early 1900s, it was a thriving community.
