Swelled by the melting snows of towering mountains, our river has long nourished abundant life.
"Azusa" is the name of the Shoshonean village that existed for 6,000 years before Spanish explorers arrived in 1769 to find "a spacious plain of rich black earth with much grass and a fine channel of water, the banks covered with willows, blackberries, and innumerable roses".
Called "El Susa Rancho" during California's Mexican era, the town of Azusa bloomed with citrus groves after the coming of the railroad. Cityhood came in 1898 and oranges and lemons gave way to homes and industry, served by Azusa Light and Water.
Today this crossroads of Route 66 and Highway 39 remains the heart of our historic downtown.
