Sierra Madre is curled up in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountain range. It is a small
quaint, safe, friendly village with storefronts reminiscent of the 1920's and 1930's. Founded
in 1880 and incorporated in 1907, Sierra Madre was developed by an ambitious
entrepreneur named Nathaniel Carter, who purchased the land from Lucky Baldwin in 1875
. He laid out plans for a Utopian community that would be called "Natures Sanitarium". By the
turn of the century, Sierra Madre was a well established, prosperous town with its own
orange groves, water system, post office, city hall and amateur drama society.
