Monrovia occupies portions of two Mexican land grants called
Rancho Santa Anita and
Rancho Azusa de Duarte. The boundary between the two ranchos is
Norumbega Drive. However, Monroe and his partners E.F. Spence, J.D. Bicknell and J.F. Crank purchased the land not directly from the Rancho owners, but from E.J. “Lucky” Baldwin and L.L. Bradbury. The only one of the original four partners who never made his home in
Monrovia was James Crank.
