southeast of Los Angeles.

home of Whittier College.
Like nearby Montebello, the city is considered both part of the Gateway Cities
as well as part of the San Gabriel Valley cities because of its proximity and area code
in which a large portion is served by the 626 area code.
The city's population as a whole has grown since its founding days but has
experienced rapid growth particularly starting in the 1990s.
