Covina

Covina can be found approx. 20 miles beyond LA - the city of angels and the rich and beautiful. But as beyond as it sounds it is not that far away at all. It is so close to Los Angeles that it smoothly could be a district. The town is located at the north side of Los Angeles near the San Gabriels Mountains. The inhabitant are said to be very loving to the constantly visiting fans. Some of them are even set to chat a little bit with them and they enjoy to watch the shooting as much as the fans do.
The city was built up on a terrain of 2000 ha, which was bought by the Hollenbeck holdings 1882 and J.S. Phillips. The town Covina got the name by a young engineer called Frederick Eaton, who worked for Phillips and had the order to research the terrain.
Taken by the valley of the San Gabriels Mountains and the natural cove around the vineyards, which were constructed by the first residents of this region, Eaton connected the words (cove) and (vine) to Covina.
Once, Covina was the center of the "Southern California Citrus Belt" and for more than 50 years the cultivation of oranges and lemons was the main source of the city.
