Lemon Grove

The inland mesas and low hills of San Diego County define the setting of Lemon Grove — a compact community east of San Diego whose warm, dry conditions supported citrus growing in its early decades. That agricultural past remains central to local identity: the oversized lemon monument on Main Street, installed in 1928, is the city’s best-known landmark and commemorates the crop that gave Lemon Grove its name. Incorporated in 1977, the city developed from a rural settlement into an urban part of the San Diego metropolitan area while retaining its own municipal character.
