Alhambra, California. The City of Alhambra had a population of only 600 people when it was incorporated on July 11, 1903. Alhambra's main sources of income and employment were vineyards and citrus groves, but it was becoming increasingly clear that it would not be long before that would change as residents of nearby Los Angeles and other metropolitan areas turned their eyes toward the attractiveness of "country-style living."
Located eight miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Alhambra is often referred to as the "Gateway to the San Gabriel Valley." A distinctive logo depicts a Moorish-style archway leading into the City reminiscent of the historic Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The City received its name from a book entitled The Alhambra by Washington Irving, published in 1832, 71 years before its incorporation in 1903.
The majority of land within the City's current boundaries was included in a 1771 land grant that led to the establishment of the nearby San Gabriel Mission. While its history and origins retain a heavy Spanish influence, the City's current population of 85,804 consists of a wide range of ethnic groups and many businesses in and around Alhambra have ties to international commerce.
