WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW

West Covina, is located in Southern California, in Los Angeles County. It is in the Eastern San Gabriel Valley. According to the 2021, U.S. Census Bureau, the estimated population is 107,017. West Covina is 18.8 miles from Los Angeles, 35 miles from Long Beach, 35 miles from Santa Monica and 32 miles from Santa Ana, California. West Covina was incorporated as a city in 1923.

The Indigenous residents of the area were the Tongva Native Americans. The Tongva People inhabited approximately a 4000 mile territory in the Greater Los Angeles area. In 1771, Father Junipero Serra founded the San Gabriel Archangel Mission in the Los Angeles area. Father Junipero Serra referred to the Native Americans as the Gabrielino Indians. They have also been referred to as the Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe. The San Gabriel Mission used Indian labor and became wealthy, with orchards, vineyards and herds.

After Mexico gained independence from Spain, Governor Pico sold land to John Rowland and William Workman which became known as Rancho La Puente. Most of West Covina was developed on the Rancho La Puente area when E. J. Baldwin sold lots to settlers. West Covina was basically an agricultural area growing many crops, including beans, potatoes, citrus and walnut groves.

West Covina is part of the greater Los Angeles area and like most of Southern California it had a population boom after World War II. It has a young, diverse and progressive population. West Covina is predominantly a residential community and is centrally located. Many residents commute to work at county wide businesses, shipyards, manufacturing plants and industries in neighboring cities, such as, Los Angeles, Torrance, and Long Beach.
