South El Monte Overview

Located in the San Gabriel Valley to the west of Los Angeles, El Monte offers beautiful weather, diverse communities, and a wealth of entertainment and recreation. As the San Gabriel Valley grows increasingly crowded, many are drawn to apartments in El Monte because of the city's rich history and excellent location.

What is the history of South El Monte?

El Monte was visited by many pioneers and missionaries before it was officially incorporated in 1912. The city was connected to several important trails that played a role in westward migration, including the Old Spanish and Santa Fe Trails.

Today, the city is home to many artists, and there are plenty of recreation opportunities in its many parks.

Any annual festivals or South El Monte events to know?
