Foothill Funeral & Cremation Adds Covina Location
While Foothill Funeral & Cremation operates a beautiful showroom in the heart of Glendora, we have recently partnered with Sacred Heart Chapel in Covina and have moved our personal residence from Azusa to the City of Covina. We love having connections with so many cities in the San Gabriel Valley. Although our new city is home to nearly 50,000 people, it still has a small-town feel. We love the sunny climate, breathtaking mountain views, quaint specialty shops, major retail outlets, award-winning restaurants, and bustling downtown.
City of Covina History:
- Originally contained within the homelands of the indigenous Tongva people.
- Officially founded in 1882 and incorporated in 1901.
- Named by a young engineer who came up with the idea by combining the words cove and vine.
- Citrus groves blanketed the city which morphed into aa major citrus producer. By 1909, in fact, Covina was the third largest orange producer in the world.
- Eventually, orange groves gave way to residential homes.
The May Day celebration in 1921, “The Spirit of Summer,” included a floral parade and Maypole dances.- “One mile square and all there,” is the city slogan, chosen from 364 entries.
- The Covina Chamber of Commerce sponsored entries in 1933 and 1936 in the Tournament of Roses Parade and at the Los Angeles County Fair.
- The chamber produced brochures and hired a hostess in the late 1940’s to welcome new residents to Covina.
- By 1948, 7,000 telephones had been installed in the area because business was booming.
