About Charter Oak, California

Charter Oak is a community of 9,739 people in Los Angeles County, in the eastern San Gabriel Valley along Arrow Highway. The Tongva people lived in this valley for thousands of years, and in the Spanish and Mexican eras the land fell within big ranchos such as Rancho La Puente and Rancho Azusa de Dalton. After the Mexican-American War those ranchos were broken up, and in the 1850s settlers began farming here, mostly citrus.

The settlement took its name from a big oak that stood out as a local landmark. By the documented account, American soldiers who camped here during the Mexican-American War thought of Connecticut's Charter Oak, the tree where colonists hid their charter from English officials, and gave the local oak the same name. People in Covina still disagree about which tree was the real one.

  • Don Antonio's goldA local legend adds a twist to the naming story. A Californio rancher called Don Antonio buried his gold beneath the oak to keep it from American troops, then hid in the branches and watched them ride past. When they were gone he fled and never came back for the gold, and many people later dug near the tree hoping to find it.
  • Bypassed by the railroad in 1887George Dexter Whitcomb, who founded Glendora, used his railroad contacts in 1887 to have the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad, later part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, laid north of the South Hills instead of through Charter Oak as first planned. Glendora grew up along the tracks, while Charter Oak, with no direct rail link, stayed a farming community of citrus groves.
  • A school district since 1894Residents formed the Charter Oak School District in 1894, and its first classes met in a one-room tent. A wooden schoolhouse came next, then a larger mission-style building in 1922. The district grew to nine schools, and its boundaries came to mark what people still call historic Charter Oak. The district marked 130 years with a celebration held at the high school that carries the Charter Oak name.
  • From orange groves to suburbsAfter World War II, housing tracts replaced the citrus orchards, and by the 1960s Charter Oak had become a bedroom community for Los Angeles. Covina annexed the land south of Arrow Highway and Glendora took land to the north, so the unincorporated community is much smaller than the area people still call Charter Oak.
  • Olympic gymnasts since 1989Since 1989, Charter Oak Gymnastics has served as a place where the U.S. National Team trains its athletes. Its gyms produced national champion Vanessa Atler and Olympian Jamie Dantzscher.
