Tree Services In Alhambra

Alhambra is a city located about eight miles to the north of Downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley. The region was initially inhabited by the Tongva Native American tribe until 1771, when the Spanish conquered and settled it, founding the San Gabriel Mission (for which the valley is named). Upon Mexican Independence in 1820, California became a part of Mexico for several decades before being taken over by the United States following the Mexican-American War. The land that now includes Alhambra was owned by Bernardo Yorba, whose daughter named the city after Washington Irving’s book Tales of the Alhambra. The name stuck and the city of Alhambra was finally incorporated in 1903. It is now home to around 85,000 residents and has built a reputation for the incredible, diverse architecture of its historic homes. Alhambra has spawned a host of famous athletes, entertainers and artists and perhaps most notably, was the home of Norman Rockwell in the beginning of the 1930’s.

Though Alhambra is somewhat insulated from the dense woodlands where California wildfires are most common, the city is still full of green and wooded areas. Part of being a home or business owner in this area of Los Angeles is making sure your outdoor space is properly cared for in case a wildfire were to break out suddenly. This means remaining vigilant about removing dead trees and dry brush that could potentially fuel a blaze.
