Rowland Heights Wedding

Rowland Heights is an unincorporated community, in Los Angeles County, California, located in the San Gabriel Valley. The population was 48,533 at the 2000 census.

Rowland Heights was originally part of the Workman Temple Homestead in California's rancho days. Rowland Heights is an unincorporated community (not a city) dependent upon County of Los Angeles representation (County Board of Supervisors). Rowland Heights has grown significantly during the 1990s. Originally built on a pig farm that covered the whole area of Rowland Heights, the Rowland Homestead was mostly orange farms until the 60 freeway was built. Development soon followed on the land directly next to the freeway. The original homestead is now behind the 99 Ranch Market near the corner of Gale Avenue and Nogales Street.
