Homes of Montebello San Gabriel Valley

If you live in Montebello or thinking of moving to homes of Montebello San Gabriel Valley, we have a little history of the area for you.

Montebello (Italian for beautiful mountain) is a city in Los Angeles County, located in the southwestern area of the San Gabriel Valley.  Avalon (on Catalina Island), Los Angeles County and the Port of Long Beach along with 26 cities including Montebello and Whittier, are considered part of the Gateway Cities in southeastern area of Los Angeles County.

Montebello and Whittier are also considered part of San Gabriel Valley. The valley derives its name from the San Gabriel River that flows southward through the center of the valley, which itself was named for the Spanish Mission San Gabriel Arcángel originally built in the Whittier Narrows in 1771.

Wickipedia informs that “Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the land along the Rio Hondo River, a branch of the San Gabriel River, was populated by the Tongva. The Tongva occupied much of the Los Angeles basin and the islands of Santa Catalina, San Nicolas, and the cities of San Clemente and Santa Barbara. The Tongva also provide the origin of many current names; Piwongna – Pomona, Pasakeg-na – Pasadena, Cucomog-na – Cucamonga, etc. European diseases killed many of the Tongva and by 1870 the area had few remaining native inhabitants.”

Mission San Gabriel Arcángel served a central role in Spanish colonial society, with many of the area's first Mexican settlers being baptized at the mission, including Pio Pico, who was born and baptized at the mission in 1801. He became governor of California twice, in 1832 and in 1845 and the city of Pico Rivera was named honoring him as the last Mexican governor of California.

The Battle of Rio San Gabriel took place in Montebello on January 8, 1847 on the banks of the Rio Hondo. This battle gave the control of Los Angeles and Alta California, which included Arizona, parts of Nevada and Utah, to the United States, and was a decisive battle in the Mexican-American war. Two days later, after several battle losses and defeats, Mexico was forced to cede Alta California to the United States.

At one time the San Gabriel Valley was predominantly agricultural. Oil discovery came to the Montebello hills in 1917. By 1920, its oil fields were producing one-eighth of California's crude oil. Today the valley is almost entirely urbanized and is an integral part of the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. It is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in the country.
