Covina
A bit of history
Real estate investor Joseph Swift Phillips began farming a 2,000-acre tract in 1882, and surveyor Fred Eaton coined the name "Covina" from "cove" and "vine" in 1885 to describe the land. The town incorporated on August 14, 1901, and for the first half of the 20th century its economy ran on citrus, with Covina claiming in 1907 to be the third-largest orange-shipping point in the world. A postwar blight wiped out the groves, and the land was subdivided into the residential neighborhoods that make up the city today.
