Montebello is a city in Los Angeles County, United States, located in the southwestern area of the San Gabriel Valley on 8.4 sq mi 8 mi east of downtown Los Angeles. It is considered part of the Gateway Cities, is a member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments. In the early 20th century, Montebello was a well-known source for oil reserves. At the 2010 census, the population was 62,500; the estimated population as of July 1, 2018 was 62,632. Before the arrival of the Spaniards in the area known today as Montebello, the land along the Rio Hondo River was populated by the Tongva portion of the Uto-Aztecan family of Native Americans; the Tongva occupied much of the Los Angeles basin and the southern Channel Islands - Santa Catalina, San Nicolas, San Clemente and Santa Barbara. Because the language of the Tongva was different from the neighboring tribes it was called "Gabrielino" by the Spanish; as more non-natives arrived and settlements were established and disease came with them. By 1870, the area had few remaining indigenous inhabitants as disease brought by the Europeans killed many of the Tongva.

Father Angel Somera and Father Pedro Cambon, both Franciscan missionaries, founded the original Mission San Gabriel Arcangel, called Mission Vieja on September 8, 1771. The establishment of the mission marked the beginning of the Los Angeles region's settlement by Spaniards and the fourth of twenty-one missions established along California's El Camino Real; the mission did well as a farm and cattle ranch. Six years after its founding, however, a destructive flood led the mission fathers to relocate the establishment farther north, to its current location in what is the present day city of San Gabriel; the original mission site is now memorialized as California Historical Landmark #161. During the early years of the mission's existence, the region operated under a "Rancho" land grant system; the current city of Montebello consists of land from Rancho San Antonio, Rancho La Merced, Rancho Paso de Bartolo. The Juan Matias Sanchez Adobe, built in 1844, still stands at the center of old Rancho la Merced in East Montebello.

Restored, Rancho la Merced is the city's oldest standing structure. On January 8, 1847, the Battle of Rio San Gabriel took place in what are today parts of the cities of Whittier, Pico Rivera and Montebello; the battle was a decisive victory for the U. S. Army, giving control of Los Angeles and Alta California to the United States, is viewed by historians as a critical juncture in the Mexican-American war. Today the site is California State Historical Landmark #385. Following the American Civil War, some 5,000 acres of the East Los Angeles area was owned by Alessandro Repetto, an Italian immigrant settler from Genoa, Italy. Following Repetto's death in 1885, his brother sold his rancho to a consortium of five Los Angeles businessmen including banker Isaias Hellman and wholesale grocer/historian Harris Newmark for $60,000 $12 per acre; the land was divided among the partners, one large parcel of 2,000 acres going to a partnership of Newmark and his nephew, banker Kaspare Cohn. It was out of the Newmark and Cohn share of 1,200 acres that city Montebello had its beginnings in May 1899.

After receiving the advice of hydraulic engineer William Mulholland for the drafting and building of the town's water system, the land was subdivided. In 1900 the completed water system was incorporated as the Montebello Water Company. An area of 200 acres adjacent to the tracks of what was the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad was developed into a townsite called Newmark, bounded by Los Angeles Avenue on the south, 1st Street on the east, Cleveland Avenue on the north, & 5th Street on the west; the remainder of the land was subdivided into 5 acres lots suitable for small-scale agriculture. On Mulholland's suggestion, Montebello was adopted as the city's name, replacing the original name Newmark. An agricultural community, Montebello was known for its prolific production of flowers, berries and vegetables; the first public flower show was sponsored by the Montebello Women's Club and held in the Montebello High School auditorium on Whittier Boulevard in 1912. The Montebello – El Carmel Improvement Association, the predecessor of the Montebello Chamber of Commerce, operated from September 1907 to April 1912.

With its stated purpose "to improve and beautify the community." Some of its early achievements included: seeing Whittier Boulevard paved, trees planted along the streets, establishment of the city's first high school, working to drop the name of "Newmark" and having the entire area incorporated as "The City of Montebello". On October 19, 1920, the city was incorporated and its name changed to "Montebello". In honor of Montebello's agricultural roots, the city's official seal contains a red poinsettia in the center. Much of south Montebello, was populated by Japanese American farmers who would lose their property during the WW II internment of US citizens. Many of the displaced residents were unable to return to their homes.

Their mascot is a senior at the school or a recent alumni dressed up as Abraham Lincoln; the school is known as the Pride of the South Side. Lincoln High School was constructed to address the increasing enrollment of students at nearby East High School. During this time, the south side of Des Moines was home to new urban development; this further increased the need for an additional school. A bond issue was passed on March 1918, that provided the funds to build the school. By 1923, construction was completed, at a cost of $949,754.95 USD. At that time, the school had 55 classrooms, a swimming pool, two gymnasiums, several labs, an art and music room, a cafeteria, an auditorium, providing for a total student capacity of 1,300.

In 1962 an additional wing was constructed, with classrooms, laboratory areas, a library with over 13,000 volumes. A male faculty lounge was added in 1963. An existing light-well was enclosed to provide for this new room. In 1964, further expansions were contracted at a total cost of $1,667,000; this provided for the construction of the Roundhouse, home to the indoor sporting venues. On the lower level, a new swimming pool and boys' locker room were constructed; the old swimming pool was converted to classroom space. The old locker rooms were remodeled into the girls' locker rooms. There are a number of prized possessions at the school. In the floor of the vestibule is the school monogram done in bronze, surrounded by a design in variegated marble. On the south wall is a portrait of The Boy Lincoln, painted by Russell Cowles, a former student of West High School. On the north wall is Lincoln the Statesman, painted by William Reaser. In the main corridor is a bronze bust of Lincoln, the work of Laurence Stewart, former student of East High.

The cornerstone of the old Lincoln School, which used to be at Ninth and Mulberry Streets, has been set as a memorial on the Lincoln High lawn. It was presented to the school with appropriate ceremonies; this cornerstone is only one of the many reminders of President Lincoln that are preserved by the school. There is a steel engraving of the Lincoln family when Lincoln was in office, one of the President himself, both presented to the school by Fred Foss. A piece of a log from Lincoln's cabin birthplace was presented by W. L. King, a former school teacher. An engraving of the national monument in the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, dedicated by President Lincoln with his famous Gettysburg Address, is in the collection. In the auditorium above the stage are the words of that famous address, in gold. Lincoln has three levels of classrooms, with the Commons and music classrooms located on the lowest level; the old "small gym" occupies the third levels in the main concourse.

The Jendrassik Cs-1 was the world's first working turboprop engine. It was designed by Hungarian engineer György Jendrassik in 1937, was intended to power a Hungarian twin-engine heavy fighter, the RMI-1. Following the running of an experimental gas turbine engine of 100 bhp output, in 1937 György Jendrassik began work on a turboprop engine, which would be produced and tested in the Ganz works in Budapest. Of axial-flow design with 15-stage compressor and 7-stage turbine, it incorporated many modern features; these included a rigid compressor-turbine rotor assembly carried on rear bearings. There was a single annular combustion chamber, of reverse-flow configuration to shorten the engine, air cooling of the turbine discs and turbine blades with extended roots to reduce heat transfer to the disc; the annular air intake surrounded a reduction gear for propeller drive takeoff, the exhaust duct was annular. With predicted output of 1,000 bhp at 13,500 rpm the Cs-1 stirred interest in the Hungarian aircraft industry with its potential to power a modern generation of high-performance aircraft, construction was begun of a twin-engined fighter-bomber, the Varga RMI-1 X/H, to be powered by it.

The first bench run took place in 1940. However, although the design was inherently sound, combustion problems were experienced which limited the output to around 400 bhp. There was nothing inherently wrong with the design and continued work on the flame cans should have allowed it to develop to full power. Work on the engine stopped in 1941 when the Hungarian Air Force selected the Messerschmitt Me 210 for the heavy fighter role, the engine factory converted over to the Daimler-Benz DB 605 to power it; the prototype RMI-1 was fitted with these engines in 1944.
