Local History
Alhambra is named after Washington
Irving's book Tales from the Alhambra, not after the Alhambra palace
itself. Alhambra was founded as a suburb of Los Angeles in 1903. Its
primarily white, Midwestern nature throughout the first 60 years of
its history is reflected in the fact that even today, most Southern
Californians pronounce the middle syllable of the city's name as a
homophone with ham, the meat. Alhambra existed as an unincorporated
area during the mid-1800s. The city high school, Alhambra High School,
was established in 1898, five years before the city's incorporation.
The Alhambra Fire Department was established three years later, in
1906. |
