Laid out in 1874 by Benjamin D. Wilson on land once part of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, it developed as an agricultural community with a unique irrigation system using the first piped water in southern California. Named for one of Wilson’s favorite books—Washington Irving’s The Alhambra (1832), which popularized the Moorish palace of the same name in Granada, Spain—the city grew as a residential base for nearby Los Angeles industries. The city is the site of one of eight campuses of Alliant International University.

Downtown Alhambra, also known as “Mosaic on Main”, showcases the rich mix of cultures with an array of eateries, entertainment and shopping.
