"75 Years of Covina"

Excellent video summarizing the history of our home town, originally presented in 1977 by the Rotary Club of Covina, and released on DVD in 2006 by the Covina Valley Historical Society. Historical materials compiled and presented by Vernon Jobe with narration by William B. Temple, and supervised by William Stone.

Among the topics covered are the history of irrigation, the citrus industry, rail transportation, schools, social organizations, postal service, the fire department, early telephone service, civic improvements, and a series of very interesting "before and after" views of Covina and environs over the years. Well worth a watch!
