Shayne Seibert Realtor Serving Glendora & the Entire San Gabriel Valley

The City of West Covina was incorporated in 1923 to prevent the City of Covina from establishing a sewage farm within the current city boundaries. The 507 residents of the area banded together to maintain local control of their land. Walnut and orange groves continued to flourish during the following decades.

The City of West Covina began the second-half of
the 20th century with exciting new developments and
projects. The City Hall and Police facility were built
in 1969 as an example of a Joint Powers Authority in
the County of Los Angeles. The Civic Center Joint
Powers Authority, consisting of the County of Los
Angeles and the City of West Covina, also completed a three-level parking structure in the Civic Center complex. The Civic Center complex includes the Los Angeles County Regional Library, the West Covina Courthouse (formerly Citrus Municipal Court) and the City Hall offices.

The city is substantially "built out" with few major vacant development sites remaining. The city is a residential and commercial center with limited industry. Retail merchandising is the principal business activity. Large corporations have been attracted to the San Gabriel Valley due to:

Accessible freeways
Available skilled labor pool
Affordable housing
Strong clientele base
Competitive land prices and rental rates
