2. ABOUT THE CITY
Diamond Bar is a scenic community located on the eastern edge of Los Angeles
County, within minutes of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. With
its origin as a center for ranching perched among a landscape of rolling hills in
the East San Gabriel Valley, Diamond Bar became one of the first master
planned communities in Los Angeles County dating back to 1956, and has
grown since that time to be known for its friendly country-living atmosphere,
abundant open spaces, exceptional public facilities, well-maintained parks and
hiking trails, and excellent schools. In 1989, Diamond Bar became the 86th city in
Los Angeles County. Today, Diamond Bar covers 14.9 square miles and is home
to 57,177 residents.
Diamond Bar is bounded by the cities of Industry and Pomona to the north,
Chino Hills to the east, and unincorporated Los Angeles County to the south and
west (Figure B-1; Regional Setting Map). With convenient access to State Routes
SR-57 and SR-60, Diamond Bar is within 30 miles driving distance of the cities of
Los Angeles, Riverside, and Irvine, making it a desirable destination to live and
work. The Industry Metrolink Station lies on the City’s northern border, providing
east-west transit connections to Los Angeles and Riverside.
