About Charter Oak
Charter Oak is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, California, approximately 26 miles (42 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. The population was 9,739 at the 2020 census, up from 9,310 at the 2010 census.
Charter Oak is located in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, situated along Arrow Highway between Covina to the south and west, Glendora to the north and San Dimas to the east. Residents tend to refer to the CDP portion as the "unincorporated part of Covina", or simply as "Covina".
Originally a small agricultural settlement (primarily citrus orchards) centered on the intersection of Arrow Highway and Bonnie Cove Avenue, population growth greatly expanded the area recognized as "Charter Oak". In the 1960s, it evolved into a "bedroom community" suburb of Los Angeles and commercial agriculture is nearly gone.
Today, the generally accepted boundaries of historical Charter Oak are I-210 to the north, Valley Center Avenue to the east, Covina Hills Road to the south and Grand Avenue to the west, corresponding to the boundaries of Charter Oak Unified School District. However, the actual CDP area is notably smaller in the present day. This places a large part of the area historically and colloquially known as Charter Oak within the modern-day city limits of Covina and Glendora.
