Look behind the street names.

Main Street and Valley Boulevard tell different parts of Alhambra's story. Historic residential neighborhoods meet a San Gabriel Valley dining scene shaped by generations of residents, merchants and newcomers. Explore the city through its local kitchens, illustrated-art gallery and neighborhood shops. Use the linked history sources to go beyond the brief timeline, then choose a local shop or restaurant for the rest of the visit.
