Situated twenty miles east of Los Angeles, La Puente is a hidden treasure. Largely residential with a small mix of commercial and industrial land uses, La Puente provides many opportunities for people to work, live, and relax. Starting off as a farming community, ranchers grew crops such as fruit and walnuts. At one time, the world’s largest walnut packing facility had been located in La Puente.


La Puente translates as “the bridge” and refers to a bridge that had been built in 1769 by members of the Portola-Serra expedition that crossed San Jose Creek, who were surveying the region for Spain. Wishing to commemorate this historic beginning, a modernized version of the bridge is part of the City’s seal. Transportation is, obviously, more modernized as well. Today, residents, visitors, and businesses have ready access to two highways: the I-10 interstate and the 60 freeway. This makes travel to and from work super easy. When planning for office moving, some useful information can be obtained from any La Puente movers.

Several celebrities and other citizens of note have roots with La Puente: • Norberto Garrido who is an American football lineman • Steven Luevano who is a professional boxer • Tony Baltazar who is also a professional boxer • Jeff Garcia who did the voice character for Sheen Estevez in “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius” and J.R. Gonzales who is the author of Open Windows.

La Puente has come a long way from its agricultural roots. An urban flare and growing lists of notable citizens are great attractions to draw visitors to the area. For those who wish to add their name to the list of notable citizens, La Puente moving companies can provide accurate moving quotes so you can determine your relocation costs. Judging by the celebrities who’ve had affiliations with La Puente, athletic talent is born here.

Many community centers, libraries, and other services make living in La Puente a pleasant experience.
