The San Gabriel Valley and adjacent areas
The San Gabriel Valley is one of the principal valleys of southern California. It lies to the east of the city of Los Angeles, to the north of the Puente Hills, to the south of the San Gabriel Mountains, and to the west of the Inland Empire. It derives its name from the San Gabriel River that flows southward through the center of the valley. At one time predominantly agricultural, the San Gabriel Valley is today almost entirely developed (largely in suburban form, but with certain areas beginning to urbanize) and is an integral part of the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Many people consider the communities of Glendale and La Crescenta-Montrose to be part of the San Gabriel Valley, although they are part of the San Fernando Valley and the Crescenta Valley, respectively.
Whittier is considered both a San Gabriel Valley city and part of the Gateway Cities region. Some of Whittier sits below the Whittier Narrows. Although these hills are considered extremely small compared to the San Gabriel Mountains, the fact that most of the city sits around them is said to make Whittier a San Gabriel Valley city, despite its area code (most of Whittier is served by the 562 area code, though a large portion is served by the 626 area code. This is similar to Montebello, which is situated in the 323 area code despite being part of the San Gabriel Valley.
San Dimas, Claremont, Pomona, Diamond Bar, and La Verne are adjacent to the San Gabriel Valley, but are properly considered part of the Pomona Valley. The 57 Freeway (Orange Freeway) is generally considered the dividing line between the Pomona and San Gabriel Valley. However, for statistical and economic development purposes, the County of Los Angeles generally includes these five cities as part of the San Gabriel Valley.
The community of El Sereno, in the city of Los Angeles, is at the westernmost edge of the Valley.
Population
Unofficial estimates place the combined population of the San Gabriel Valley at around 2 million -- roughly a fifth of the population of Los Angeles County.
The majority of people residing in the San Gabriel Valley are Hispanics and Asian Americans. The white population is smaller due to a mass exodus that occurred during much of the 1980s and 1990s. This phenomenon has been called "white flight," but unlike the typical pattern of white movement from cities to suburbs, this movement has been from one suburb to another suburb. The remaining white population in the San Gabriel Valley resides primarily in the communities of Pasadena, Glendora, Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Charter Oak, and in the southern and eastern parts of Covina (the northern and western parts are increasingly Hispanic).
The African American population in the San Gabriel Valley is relatively low, particularly when compared to that of more central Greater Los Angeles communities like Inglewood. However, there are sizable, long-established African American communities in the western Altadena area and in northwest Pasadena, as well as in Monrovia.
Hispanics, mainly Mexican Americans, are especially dominant in Azusa, Baldwin Park, City of Industry, El Monte, La Puente, Montebello, Rosemead, South El Monte, West Covina, and Whittier. Mexican Americans have been present in the area since the 1840s, when the territory transferred from Mexico. In the predominantly Asian American city of Monterey Park, Hispanics are concentrated in the southwestern part of the city near East Los Angeles and the Belvedere district of Los Angeles. The southwestern portion was formerly East Los Angeles before annexation by Monterey Park years ago.
The original Native American group in the area are the Tongva tribe, who are also known as the Gabrielino, due to their association with the mission in San Gabriel.
The San Gabriel Valley has the largest concentration of Chinese American communities in Southern California. Taiwanese Americans are the most dominant subgroup. Communities with a high percentage of Asian Americans include Alhambra, Arcadia, Diamond Bar, Hacienda Heights, Monterey Park, Rosemead, Rowland Heights, San Gabriel, San Marino, Temple City, and Walnut. According to a 2004 report by the Asian-Pacific American Legal Center, the cities of Walnut, San Gabriel, San Marino, Rosemead and Monterey Park contain an Asian American majority.
Other Asian American groups include smaller pockets of Filipino Americans, many of whom reside in West Covina and Walnut, and Vietnamese Americans in San Gabriel, Rosemead, and El Monte. Many Vietnamese Americans have blended in with the general Chinese American population. Smaller pockets of Korean Americans live in Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, and Diamond Bar. The Indian American population is small compared to the other groups, but there are sizable concentrations in Arcadia, Rowland Heights, Walnut, and Diamond Bar. A longstanding Japanese American population exists in the southwestern area near northern Montebello.
Many parts of the San Gabriel Valley are working-class areas although, like many other regions, some cities in the valley have middle-class and wealthy neighborhoods as well. Predominantly working-class communities include Azusa, El Monte and La Puente. Middle-class communities include Alhambra, Pasadena, West Covina, and Whittier. Wealthier communities include Arcadia, Bradbury, Diamond Bar, San Marino, and Walnut.
