From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bassett is an unincorporated community in the San Gabriel Valley, in Los Angeles County, California, United States, within the Census-designated places boundaries of Avocado Heights and West Puente Valley.[1][2][3] Its ZIP Code is 91746 and it uses area code 626.
Joseph Workman, the son of William Workman, owned 814 acres (3.29 km2) of the Rancho La Puente land, and borrowed money on the property. He was not able to keep up the mortgage payments so the bank acquired the property. In 1895, O.T. Bassett bought the property and Bassett Township was established.[4] In 1921, Josephine (Workman) Akley, the youngest child of Joseph Workman, won a lawsuit to recover an interest in the Rancho La Puente land that her father sold. However, the decision was reversed in 1922.
