The City of Sierra Madre, founded in 1881 and incorporated on February 2, 1907 as a general law City, operates under the City Manager/City Council form of government. The City is a unique residential community of about 10,500 residents located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County. Most of the City is built on the gentle hillside slopes; however, the canyon areas have steep hillsides and valleys.
Sierra Madre is proud to be the "Village of the Foothills," with minimal retail and light commercial industry. It is a full-service City in which governmental services are funded through property taxes, sales and use taxes, user fees and assessments. |
