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. Visible behind several trees, the 2-story Bellevue Hotel was built to be the center of activity in the city of Glendora and was located on Meda Ave. between Vista Bonita and Michigan Ave. It was built by the Glendora Land Company on April 1, 1887, and many years later, was used as a meeting hall known as The Foothill Club. Unfortunately, it was razed in February 1934. Photo was taken circa 1897.
