The college has the distinction of being the oldest community college in Los Angeles County and the fifth oldest in the state. Citrus College was founded in 1915 under the leadership of Dr. Floyd S. Hayden, who helped bring the community college movement to California. From 1915 to 1961, Citrus College was operated by the Citrus Union High School District. In July 1961, the Citrus Community College District was created to include the Azusa and Glendora Unified School Districts. In 1968, the district expanded to include the unified school districts of Claremont, Duarte and Monrovia. Citrus College now occupies a 104-acre campus. The college has undergone a major facilities expansion project that has changed the look of the campus. The college enrolled 27 students in 1915 and, currently, the college serves more than 14,000 students.
