"The site was formerly rich farmland watered by artesian wells and floodwaters of the now-contained San Gabriel River. In 1906, F.E. Woodruff, a local real estate investor,[6] founded the first municipality on the site, which was named Somerset in 1909 when a post office was established there.[7] However, the proponents of the name 'Bellflower' claimed that the US Post Office Department rejected the name 'Somerset' to prevent confusion with Somerset, Colorado.[7] The present name is derived from the bellflower apple, which was grown in local orchards during the early 1900s" ~ Wikipedia
