About Glendora, California: Where Oranges Met the Open Road
Glendora, proudly known as the "Pride of the Foothills," is a scenic city along Historic Route 66 with a rich agricultural past. Founded in the 1880s, Glendora first flourished as a major citrus hub, defined by its extensive and fragrant orange and lemon groves. This legacy helped establish the region as part of California's "Orange Empire," offering a beautiful and memorable backdrop for early road travelers.
When U.S. Route 66 was established in 1926, Glendora's strategic location immediately made it an essential stop. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the city thrived with classic motels, diners, and gas stations catering to weary motorists.
While modern freeways like I-210 and I-10 later diverted long-distance traffic, Glendora has successfully preserved its unique historic charm. Its vibrant downtown area, particularly along the original Route 66 corridor of Foothill Boulevard and Alosta Avenue, features vintage architecture and local shops. Today, Glendora remains an authentic and scenic destination for Route 66 adventurers and serves as a gateway to the final leg of the Mother Road before it enters the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
