Monrovia

All the warmth of Southern California and the advantages of a gorgeous natural environment unite to create a place that is at once beautiful, historic, cultural, economically diverse and inviting. Located 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, Monrovia is part of the San Gabriel Valley, just eight miles east of the City of Pasadena in Los Angeles County. 

This growing city of nearly 40,000 residents distinguishes itself from other communities with its dynamic small-town charm and collection of high-tech industry. A world of amenities is available here: everything from world-class cultural facilities to glorious recreational outlets to top-rated education and healthcare is available right at residents’ fingertips. 

Monrovia's Old Town is the heart of the community. Today it has become a regional attraction and local necessity for those who live, work and play in Monrovia. Every Friday night, from March through to Christmas, thousands of residents and visitors alike mingle at the largest street fair of its kind in the state, with craft and food booths, kiddie rides, a certified farmer's market, live music and more.

Monrovia is the fourth oldest city in Los Angeles County and the L.A. Basin (after Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Pasadena). It was incorporated in 1887.

Monrovia main roads include Foothill Boulevard and Huntington Drive (historic Route 66). It is also served by the Foothill Freeway (I-210). In 2015, Metro will open a new light-rail station in Monrovia. Monrovia Station will be located at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Duarte Road, and will be served by the Metro Gold Line.
