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. Photo of Dr. A. E. Engelhardt's 2-story home located on Colorado, near Santa Fe Avenue in Glendora. The gentleman sitting on the porch steps admiring his nicely-manicured front yard is probably the good doctor. In 1902, dozens of local Glendora family names appeared on the record books as contributing to the Glendora Lemon Association's output, the Engelhardt family name was among those listed.
