They
did a great job on my floors. They quoted lower than the other guy I had come
by and then when they were finished it was $50 less than what they quoted.
Fast, professional and inexpensive |

We
got 4 bids to refinish our floors and install hardwood in half of the master
(to match what was already there) and this was the best price. We were iffy
because we didn't want "cheap" results, but we were very price conscience.
I
am happy to report we LOVE our refinished hardwood floors and the floor in the
master is almost a perfect match. New Generation Flooring and his team were
excellent at what they do, friendly and quick.
We
would absolutely recommend them to anyone! |

About Rosemead, Los Angeles County, CA |
Rosemead is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As of 2009, it has a population of approximately 57,594.
History
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, two native American tribes fought for the land of what is today Eastern Rosemead. The Haznu and the Tongva wars lasted 3 years until ending circa 1740, with a Tongva victory. The victory was a result of the Tongva chief Deyuh, who accepted the surrender of the almost decimated Haznu tribe. The area around Rosemead was populated by native Americans of the Tongva or Gabrielino ethnic group. In 1771, the Spanish founded the first San Gabriel mission in the area that is now known as Whittier Narrows on the border between Montebello and Rosemead. Due to flooding issues, the mission was moved to its present location in San Gabriel in 1775.
During the Spanish colonial period the area now covered by the City of Rosemead was part of the land administered by the San Gabriel Mission. After Mexican independence, the land was distributed to private citizens as part of the Mexican government's secularization act of 1834. The southern part of Rosemead was part of a ranch named Potrero Grande (Large Pasture) which was originally granted to an native American man named Manuel Antonio, who was a "mayordomo" (overseer) at the San Gabriel Mission. The 4,431-acre (18 km) ranch was later transferred to Juan Matias Sánchez.
Following the Mexican-American War and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe which transferred sovereignty over the territory now known as the State of California to the United States, Anglo-American immigration began to flow to the area. In 1852, John Guess and his wife Harriet moved into the San Gabriel Valley from Conway County, Arkansas. In 1855 the couple camped where present-day Savannah Elemetary School is located on Rio Hondo Avenue. They rented land afterwards as the years passed. In 1867, John Guess purchased 100 acres (0.4 km) of a 1,164-acre (5 km) ranch and named it Savanna. The land stretched from Valley Boulevard to Marshall Street, and from Rosemead Boulevard to the Eaton Wash.
Other pioneers, Frank Forst and Leonard J. Rose, also settled in this valley. Rose and his wife Amanda bought about 600 acres (2.4 km) of land between what is now Rosemead Boulevard and Walnut Grove Avenue. Rose bred and trained horses for a living. He later named his ranch "Rosemeade." The name Rosemeade was later shortened to Rosemead and adopted by the community, and the area flourished with various rabbit and chicken farms.
On August 4, 1959, the citizens of Rosemead elected to incorporate Rosemead into a city.

The Chinese-Vietnamese Sriracha red chili sauce (known to many as Rooster sauce) manufacturer Huy Fong Foods, Inc. (??????) is also based in the city. The University of the West (formerly known as Hsi Lai University) moved to it current location in Rosemead in 1996. It is one of the very first Buddhists funded university in the U.S. Rosemead School of Psychology was named after its original location in Rosemead. This school was the first independent professional school of psychology in the nation to be accredited by regional accrediting association. Rosemead School of Psychology is now located in La Mirada, but still keeps the city name.
Controversies over the development of a Wal-Mart Supercenter in the southern portion of the city have been ongoing. It recently opened on September 13, 2006. A recall election to remove two councilmembers that supported the Wal-Mart was set for September 19, 2006; the voters defeated the recall in a 60 to 40 percent vote. However, in the general elections that followed shortly thereafter on March 6, 2007, Polly Low defeated incumbent and former recall target Jay Imperial, garnering the highest vote count among the five candidates vying for the two open seats on the council. Polly has since been relegated to a 4-1 council as allies of Imperial, Margaret Clark, Steven Ly, and Sandra Armenta, swept their elections on March 3, 2009.
