A post on Facebook (which I can't find) said Alta-Dena Dairy, now one of the largest dairies in the world, was founded in Monrovia. Who knew? The Alta-Dena Dairy site agrees. It says (here) that:
"It all started in Monrovia, California by three brothers, Elmer, Edgar and Harold Stueve. With little more than 61 cows and a delivery wagon, they set out to nourish their neighbors with tasty, nutritious milk from cows soaking up the fresh, California sunshine."
The Facebook post says it was named Alta-Dena because Altadena was the first neighborhood it delivered milk to, serving more than 300 homes there.
Ah! Here's the video.
