History

Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the land along the Rio Hondo River was populated by the Tongva (Gabrielino) Native Americans. The Tongva occupied much of the Los Angeles basin and the islands of Santa Catalina, San Nicolas, San Clemente and Santa Barbara. When the Spanish explorer Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo arrived off the shores of Santa Catalina, the Tongva came out in their canoes to meet with him in 1542. The language of the Tongva was different from the neighboring Indian tribes and it was called Gabrielino by the Spanish. Gabrieleno Native American women Tongva may also refer to the Tongva language. ... This article is about the people indigenous to the United States. ...

The Gabrielinos lived in dome like structures with thatched exteriors. Both sexes wore long hair styles and tattooed their bodies. During warm weather the men wore little clothes but the women would wear minimal skirts made of animals hides. During the cold weather they would wear animal skin capes.

European diseases killed many of the Tongva and by 1870 the area had few left.

Franciscan Missionaries, Fathers Angel Somera and Pedro Cambon, founded the original Mission San Gabriel Arcangel on September 9, 1771, near where San Gabriel Boulevard now crosses the Rio Hondo which is also near the present day Sanchez Adobe Mansion. This marked the beginning of the Los Angeles region's settlement by Spaniards. The Order of Friars Minor and other Franciscan movements are disciples of Saint Francis of Assisi. ...

The San Gabriel Mission was the fourth of 21 missions that would ultimately be established along California's El Camino Real. The San Gabriel mission did well as a cattle ranch and farm, but six years after its founding a destructive flood led the mission fathers to relocate the establishment to its current location farther north in present day city of San Gabriel.

During the early years of the mission, the region operated under a Rancho system. The lands which now comprise the city of Montebello were originally parts of Rancho San Antonio, Rancho La Merced and Rancho Paso de Bartolo. The oldest house in Los Angeles county is the old San Antonio Ranch Gage Mansion located in present day Bell Gardens.^[2] The Juan Matias Sanchez Adobe mansion is also still standing at the center of old La Merced Rancho in Eastern Montebello in the La Merced area. Rancho San Antonio was a 29,513 acre Spanish land grant to Francisco Salvador Lugo. ...

Another important event that took place in Montebello was the Battle of Rio San Gabriel on January 8, 1847. This battle is re-enacted every year in September. It was this battle that gave the United States the opportunity to win California in the Mexican-American war.

Following the American Civil War, some five thousand acres of the East Los Angeles region was owned by an Italian settler, Alessandro Repetto. After Repetto's death in 1885, his rancho was purchased by a consortium of five Los Angeles businessmen including banker Isaias Hellman and wholesale grocer/historian Harris Newmark. Later the land was divided among the partners, one large parcel of approximately 2000 acres going to a partnership of Newmark and his nephew, banker Kaspare Cohn. Eventually, they subdivided this land, after seeking the advice of hydraulic engineer William Mulholland in the design and construction of a water system.^[3] Combatants United States of America (Union) Confederate States of America (Confederacy) Commanders Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S.

Two hundred acres adjacent to the tracks of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad (now part of the Union Pacific Railroad) were developed into a townsite called Newmark, and the remainder of the land was subdivided into larger lots suitable for small-scale agriculture. On Mulholland's suggestion, this land was given the name Montebello, which was adopted as the city's name, replacing the original name Newmark when it incorporated in 1920.^[4] The name, Montebello, which means beautiful hill in both Italian and Spanish, is shared with several other communities in Europe and the Americas.

Newmark 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 Newmark. The agricultural hills soon became a major contributor to oil production. By 1920, it's oil fields were producing one-eighth of California's crude oil. On October 19, 1920, the cities name was changed to Montebello and it was incorporated as the 35th of the present cities in Los Angeles County. Standard Oil was an oil refining organization founded by John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) and partners beginning in 1863. ...
