Monterey Park

Monterey Park straddles the western margin of the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, and its location between the Los Angeles Basin and the San Gabriel Mountains has shaped it as a dense, connected suburban city. Incorporated in 1916, it grew from agricultural land into a community closely tied to greater Los Angeles. Monterey Park is widely associated with its Chinese American community, whose restaurants, bakeries and markets give commercial streets such as Atlantic Boulevard a distinctly trans-Pacific character. Parks and residential neighborhoods occupy the city’s low hills and valley floor.
