in Pomona, Los Angeles County, California. It was built in 1875 by Louis Phillips, who by the 1890s had become the wealthiest man in Los Angeles County. Situated along the Butterfield Stage route, the Phillips Mansion became a center of community activity in the Pomona and Spadra area. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, making it among the first 25 sites in Los Angeles County to be so designated (there are now more than 450). Geography Phillips Ranch is bounded by the 71 Freeway to the east, Chino Hills to the south, Diamond Bar to the west, and Mission Blvd to the north-northwest. The elevation of the community is 800 feet above sea level, but it is as high as about 1400 feet, the peak being located at the northwestern part of the neighborhood above Mission Blvd. City government Steve Lustro was elected in November 2018 to represent District 5 seat. Since moving to Pomona over 35 years ago, Steve's involvement in school and community has been virtually non-stop. Shortly after moving into his neighborhood, Steve was instrumental in helping set up a Neighborhood Watch group encompassing about 50 residences. This led to an invitation by a neighbor to serve on the School Site Council at Decker Elementary from 1984-1987. When Ranch Hills Elementary opened in 1990, Steve volunteered to serve as editor of the school newsletter, Rattlers' Tattler, which he continued to do for four school years. In 1993, Steve was asked to participate as a community member on the planning advisory committee for Diamond Ranch High School. The committee, which met periodically until the school opened in 1997, was charged with helping select the site architect, determining when the school would open, and providing input on curriculum. Steve was elected to the PUSD Board of Education in November 1997 and re-elected in November 2001. Steve was appointed to and served on the City of Pomona Planning Commission from July 1991 through April 1997. In January 2017, Mayor Tim Sandoval selected Steve to serve as his appointment to the City of Pomona Board of Parking Place Commissioners (Vehicle Parking District), which is responsible for making policy recommendations and overseeing the operation of 26 City-owned parking lots in and around Downtown Pomona. Education Like the remainder of Pomona, Phillips Ranch is served by the Pomona Unified School District, which stretch as far south as
