NeighbourhoodDowntown
El Monte's civic core along Valley Boulevard holds City Hall and, a few blocks east on Santa Anita Avenue, Santa Fe Trail Historical Park — dedicated in 1989 on the site the city has marked as a California Historic Landmark commemorating the trail's 1850s western terminus.
NeighbourhoodAuto District
The North Peck Road corridor has anchored car sales since Dominic Longo opened a small storefront dealership here in 1967; Longo Toyota became the nation's top-volume Toyota store in its first year and still operates from the same stretch of Peck Road.
