About the City of Rosemead
 John Guess and his wife, Harriet, arrived in the San Gabriel Valley in 1852 in an ox-drawn wagon from Arkansas. They settled in 1855 on a 100-acre ranch called Savannah on the site of what is now Savannah School. Others followed, including Frank Frost and Leonard Rose. Rose purchased 500 to 700 acres to breed and train horses and called his place Rose's Meadow, which was shortened to Rosemead and gave the city it's name. Small truck farms and chicken and rabbit ranches became popular and the city incorporated in 1959. The quiet, pastoral lands are now crowded with businesses, industries, shops and some 53,000 people. Once a lush green pasture extending from the Los Angeles River east to the Pomona area, Rosemead was indeed a fine place for early settlers to raise fruits, vegetables, grain and feed.
Today, the city boasts that its goals include the improvement of quality of life offered in Rosemead in a business friendly atmosphere conducive to continued economic growth and prosperity. The city offers a desirable and affordable community in which to live and a dynamic and expanding business sector that is an economic growth engine for West Coast commerce.
The City Council meets the second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 8838 East Valley Boulevard.

About the City of South El Monte
 The City of South El Monte was officially incorporated as a city on July 30, 1958, with Los Angeles County Supervisor Frank G. Bonelli administering the oath of office to Mayor Frank Stiles and Councilmen Moyle Knudsen, Pete Miller, Max Shapiro and Joe Vargas. No city suddenly springs into existence fully blown, however, and the city of South El Monte is no different in this regard. The vote of the people that formally brought the city of South El Monte into existence was, in many ways, a mere technicality. The actual history of the city is much richer, much more interesting, than one might expect from its incorporation date, slightly less than a half a century ago. From the early days of the Shoshone Indians and the Spanish missionaries through the days of the ranchos and the early settlers to the post-war years and right down to the present, South El Monte has provided a wonderfully rich stage for the playing out of the human comedies and dramas that have contributed to the historical tapestry that is the southwestern United States.
In just four decades, the City of South El Monte has matured into a viable commercial and manufacturing base, while maintaining a strong commitment to quality community services. To meet its current needs, the City is now focusing on its growth and potential in retail and residential development while maintaining its commitment to improving the quality of life for its residents.
The City Council meets the second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 1415 Santa Anita Ave.
