Azusa, CA

Azusa, a city in Los Angeles County, California, is often assumed to be a compaction of the phrase "everything from A to Z in the USA", but the place name "Azusa" traces back to at least the eighteenth century as "The Azusa" originally referred to the San Gabriel Valley and river. Azusa lies along the Foothill Freeway (I-210) between the San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605) and the Orange Freeway (State Route 57).
