The City of Glendora operates from City Hall at 116 E. Foothill Blvd., Glendora, CA 91741. The City’s published telephone number is (626) 914-8200.","The City’s About Glendora page states the city was founded in 1887 and officially incorporated in 1911. The Los Angeles Almanac records incorporation on November 13, 1911 and identifies Glendora as a general-law city. Civic counts on this record describe the city as a whole. They are not the value of a particular house.","The City Council page states Glendora maintains a Council/City Manager form of government, that five City Council members are elected by districts and serve staggered four-year terms, and that the Council selects a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from its membership after each election. Regular Council meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. The same page states the at-large election system changed to by-district elections in 2017.","Documented civic features include Foothill Boulevard as the principal civic corridor, the Downtown Village named on the About Glendora page, the Glendora Public Library at 140 S. Glendora Ave., and Metro A Line service listed on the City’s Transit Services page."],"history":["The City’s About Glendora page states Glendora was founded in 1887 and remained a small citrus-producing community until the late 1950s, when agriculture gave way to large-scale residential development. The Community Archive history page records incorporation on November 13, 1911.","The Los Angeles Almanac states George Whitcomb chose the name in 1887, combining glen (a narrow valley) and the last two syllables of his wife’s name Ledora.","The City’s History page and About Glendora page use the civic identity line “Pride of the Foothills.” The History page attributes the slogan to Flora Jones Seaman Webb in the early 1900s for the Glendora Gleaner. That is a civic identity line. It is not a ranking of streets or a price for a particular house.","This page does not publish an unverified citywide historic-resources count.
