Originally published by Newman Post Card Co. 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. Postcard shows an aerial view of citrus groves in the city of Glendora. The postcard is addressed to "Mr. Chas. Desmond, c/o Agnew Hospital. San Diego, Calif." and reads "Chas. Desmond, I am having a good rest. Going to the mountains tomorrow. Hope you are feeling better each day. Your muse, Miss Ditton. 9-3-'08". Verso is stamped: "Publ. for E.A. Hall, Glendora, Cal. by Newman Post Card Co., Los Angeles. Made in Germany."
