Blessed with a spectacular natural setting beneath the San Gabriel Mountains, Azusa is a community with a strong sense of family and history. Founded over one hundred years ago in 1887 and incorporated December 29, 1898, its name traces its lineage to a native Tongva village that existed long before the first Spanish explores arrived in 1769.

The area grew after 1854 when gold was discovered in the San Gabriel Canyon. By 1860 the town had over 2,000 inhabitants and the United States government bought much of the land from founder Henry Dalton for homesteading.

Oranges and lemons soon gave way to homes and industry. A new generation of families and entrepreneurs soon pursued the American Dream of owning a home, starting a business and creating a brighter future for their children. Today with a population of close to 62,000 residents, Azusa boasts a vibrant industrial base and diverse neighborhoods with active citizens charting a new vision. Azusa is becoming a model of an older suburban community undergoing exciting renewal to continue to be the Gateway to the American Dream.
