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.

Several people are standing on the front yard, and more are riding in a horse-drawn vehicle. It is unclear if all persons pictured are from the Miller family. In 1902, dozens of local Glendora family names appeared on the record books as contributing to the Glendora Lemon Association's output, the Miller family name was among those listed.
