Incorporated on August 1, 1956; however, the history of the community extends back much further. The City’s name "La Puente" means the bridge in old Spanish and refers to an early bridge built across the San Jose Creek by members of the Portola-Serra expedition in 1769, as they surveyed the region for Spain. A modernized version of the bridge can be seen in the City’s colorful seal. The City operates various facilities to serve the community. These include a Community Center, Senior Center, Public Safety Center, and La Puente Park. There are seventeen schools, two libraries, and a health center serving the City's residents.
