In the mid-1800’s, most of the Rancho was sold to help defray Andres Duarte’s debts. One of those who purchased land was Dr. Nehemiah Beardslee, who started the first school in Duarte and laid out the first section of Duarte’s water lines. Much of the remaining land was divided into 40-acre plots and sold individually.

Many of Duarte’s earliest pioneer families came to Duarte in the mid-1800’s for their health, the pleasant climate, and the fertile soil.

English settlers, Americans from the Midwest and deep South, Latinos who remained from Rancho and Japanese immigrants enabled Duarte to grow into a thriving agricultural community specializing in citrus production.

The City of Duarte is also host to a world-renowned cancer research center and a nationally recognized hospital dedicated to improving the physical and mental well-being of its residents.
