South El Monte is a town of about 20,000 people, located in Los Angeles County. The city is technically a suburb of the big City of Angels, but in reality, it has a unique flavor and character. The original inhabitants of the area were the Shoshone Indians, who camped and drank water in this spot. Next came the Thompson family looking for gold. They made the area a town, and South El Monte, which officially incorporated in 1958, has grown steadily ever since. El Monte has its own attractions and amenities. And even better, it offers easy access to Los Angeles, so residents can commute for work and play in the big city, but enjoy some quiet suburban living when they decide to stay at home. See more
