Today, La Verne is a city of more than 30,000 residents and a well-balanced community with a good mix of residential, commercial, and industrial features. La Verne is a "close-knit" community that is home to many fine institutions and facilities among which include the University of La Verne (founded in 1891), Brackett Airport, and fine public and private schools. As one of the most desirable communities in metropolitan Southern California, La Verne is a progressive city that has retained much of its small-town charm.
