This street, named in 1884 on the J.S. Phillips tract (a.k.a. the Covina townsite), surely honors William Workman (c. 1799-1876), the English pioneer who with John A. Rowland was granted Rancho La Puente way back in the 1840s. Read more about him at Temple City’s own Workman Avenue, christened by Workman’s grandson.
