Huntington Drive is a major thoroughfare that begins in the Rose Hills community in Los Angeles and heads east-northeast to Irwindale. The street was named after railroad magnate Henry E. Huntington. It also served as one of the only thoroughfares between Los Angeles and Pasadena in the early 1900s. Portions of Huntington Drive were part of the National Old Trails Road and U.S. Route 66. The road has a wide median that was originally one of the lines of the Pacific Electric Railway, the Monrovia–Glendora Line.
