Bradbury is a city in theSan Gabriel Valley region ofLos Angeles County, California, United States. It is located in thefoothills of theSan Gabriel Mountains belowAngeles National Forest. Bradbury is bordered by the city ofMonrovia to the west and south, andDuarte to the south and east. The population was 921 at the2020 census, down from 1,048 at the2010 census. The city has three distinct areas—the Bradbury Estates, which is agated community consisting of 5-acre (20,000 m2) minimum estates; Woodlyn Lane, which is also a gated community with minimum 2-acre (8,100 m2) lots; and the balance of the city, which is not gated, which has lots generally ranging in size from 7,500 square feet (700 m2) to 1-acre (4,000 m2). A significant portion of the properties in Bradbury Estates and Woodlyn Lane are zoned for horses, and several horse ranches still exist within these communities today.
Bradbury was founded byLewis L. Bradbury on the homestead ofRancho Azusa de Duarte in 1881. In 1912, the Bradburys' daughter, Minerva, married Isaac Polk and built a grand mansion on the property which they named Chateau Bradbury. After years of annexation attempts by the city of Monrovia, Bradbury incorporated in 1957.[6] The paperwork for incorporation arrived in a rush to prevent the area from becoming part of the new city of Duarte, which also incorporated on the same day, August 22, 1957. Still, many ties between the two communities remain in that they both form the Duarte Unified School District; they both share the same post office and the 91008 ZIP code;[7] and they both share combined public services such as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and Los Angeles County Fire Department.
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2), over 99% of it land.
