The San Gabriel Mission was number three of 21 missions that were to be established along the Camino Real. The San Gabriel mission did well as a cattle ranch and farm. A great flood caused the mission to be relocated to its current location farther north in present day San Gabriel City. European settlers knew it as the mother of agriculture in California as Montebello was originally an agricultural community. The discovery of oil by Standard Oil Company on the Anita Baldwin property in 1917 brought about a revolutionary change to Montebello. The agricultural hills soon became a major contributor to oil production. By 1920, Montebello oil fields were producing one-eighth of California's crude oil. On October 19, 1920, Montebello was incorporated as the 35th of the present cities in Los Angeles County. Montebello is also home to a significant Japanese-Peruvian and Japanese-Hawaiian community; who settled in the area after WWII and the internment camps. |
