From a Spanish land grant, incorporated 1957
Duarte was incorporated on August 22, 1957, but its name reaches back much further, to Andrés Duarte, holder of the original Rancho Azusa de Duarte land grant in the 1840s. Historic Route 66 runs along Huntington Drive, and the foothill setting and the City of Hope campus have shaped Duarte’s identity from a ranching past into a quietly growing residential city.
