Title supplied by cataloger.; Photo reproduced by Zephyr. 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. A few people standing outside of the Glendora Restaurant appear to be looking across the street toward the photographer. The Glendora Market (left), Glendora Restaurant (center) and Anderson's Pharmacy (right) were all located in the red brick, 2-story Banhold Building located on the southeast corner of Glendora and Meda Avenue.
