The city of Lomita (Spanish for “Little hill”) lies in Los Angeles County, California. Twenty-two thousand residents lived in the city at the 2010 census, up from twenty thousand four hundred in 2000.

Census Bureau data indicates the city covers a total area of 1.9 square miles (4.9 km2), all of which is land.

Originally, Lomita spanned seven square miles (18 km2). In time, however, most of this area was annexed by neighboring cities. For example, the former Lomita Fields is now Zamperini Field (Torrance Municipal Airport).

In 1542-1543, when the Viceroy of New Spain commissioned Juan Rodrguez Cabrillo to explore the Pacific Ocean, the Spanish Empire expanded into this area. The area became part of the Province of the Californias in 1767 (Spanish: Provincia de las Californias).

Juan José Dominguez acquired Rancho San Pedro from the Spanish Crown in 1784, a tract of land covering over 75,000 acres (300 km2). As Dominguez’s descendants partitioned and sold parcels to newly arriving settlers, and relinquished some when validating their claim with the Mexican government in 1828 and the United States government in 1858, the rancho changed in size over time. It is still common to find the Dominguez family name throughout an unincorporated community north of Lomita, such as Rancho Dominguez, where the Dominguez Rancho Adobe historic landmark is located.

Lomita became a city on June 30, 1964, in order to restrict the growth of high-rise apartment buildings and prevent annexation by neighboring cities.

Sister city relations between Lomita and Takaishi, Osaka, Japan, were established in October 1981.

In 1966, Irene Lewis opened the Lomita Railroad Museum, a small museum dedicated to the steam-engine era in railroading. The Lewis’s operated “Little Engines of Lomita”, a business that sold kits for live steam locomotives. Several her engines have been used in movies, such as “The Greatest Show on Earth” (1952) and “Von Ryan’s Express” (1965). Mrs. Lewis was influenced by this event to earn a mechanical engineering degree later in life and to build the museum to display her products. The museum was the first of its kind west of Denver when it was built. Museum was designed to look like the Boston & Maine’s Greenwood Station in Wakefield, Massachusetts. In 1967, Mrs. Lewis donated the Museum to the City of Lomita in memory of her late husband, Martin Lewis. Among the exhibits are a 1902 Baldwin locomotive, a Southern Pacific tender, a 1910 Union Pacific caboose, and a Santa Fe caboose. The Museum also houses a full-size replica of an iconic water tower from the 1920s erected in 2000. A Union Pacific boxcar and a Union Oil tank car are situated in a small public park at the museum. It is open Thursday through Sunday. One of Mrs. Lewis’s little engines was featured on a Lawrence Welk program honoring senior citizens. Mary Lou Metzger operated the train, and she sang about railroading.

The 5 Star Comics store is owned by professional wrestler Rob Van Dam. It was originally located in Lakewood before moving to Lomita. (Now closed).

City of Lawndale is located in Los Angeles County, California, United States. At the 2010 census, there were 32,769 residents, up from 31,712 at the 2000 census. The city is part of the Greater Los Angeles Area’s South Bay region.

Cable TV station Lawndale Community Cable Television on Channel 22 provides public-access television programming. Time Warner Cable provides the Cable Television Department of Lawndale with a franchise fee that is paid by the Lawndale Cable Usage Corporation and the City of Lawndale. It is an independent non-profit corporation in California that receives these fees and develops Lawndale Community Cable Television.

Lawndale was originally part of Rancho Sausal Redondo beginning in the 1780s, which included much of what is now South Bayshore. It was Charles B. Hopper who subdivided this area in 1905 and named it Hoppertown after the Chicago neighborhood of the same name. Lot sales were slow and different promotions were attempted, such as promoting Lawndale as a chicken-raising region. Inglewood Division of the Redondo Railway, which later became part of Pacific Electric’s “Red Car” system, was the first railway through Lawndale. The railroad ran along the middle of Railway Avenue (now Hawthorne Boulevard) from 1881 to 1933. In 1927, The Santa Fe Railway was built. Lawndale was formed as a bedroom community due to the overwhelming demand for housing from veterans and newcomers to California after World War II. Lawndale was incorporated as a city on December 28, 1959.

A considerable portion of Lawndale’s residents increasingly became renters as a result of its low housing prices as well as its desirable location in comparison with its neighboring cities in the 1970s.

A new cycle of defense industry expansion in the 1980s made it more difficult for young people who wanted to live in the Beach Cities for a time to afford it, and they settled in less glamorous inland cities, such as Lawndale. As the cold war ended, this industry contracted and Lawndale returned to its previous pattern. The city’s “Beautify Lawndale” urban renewal project along Hawthorne Boulevard (State Route 107), a major South Bay thoroughfare, was completed in 2003 in an effort to attract more residents and tourists.

After the installation of the billboard in 2004, the city realized it was violating ordinances banning out-of-town advertising on signage of that type. It was sponsored by Fox for the first 18 months and promoted upcoming Fox television shows and movies. Before it became the sponsor of Los Angeles radio station 100.3 – The Sound, the company had been sponsored by Acura. It is estimated that the billboard generates $200,000 for Lawndale every year. The Lawndale community center opened its doors in 2012.

Fred Dryer was raised there, too, along with Roy Rogers who lived there for a while. Traci Lords was born and raised in Lawndale before she became an adult film star.

Lancaster is a charter city in Los Angeles County located in the western Mojave Desert of southern California’s Antelope Valley. At the 2010 census, it had 156,633 residents, and by 2020, its population is expected to increase to 173,516, making Lancaster the 153rd largest city in the United States and the 30th largest city in California. Lancaster and its southern neighbor Palmdale are twin cities, and together they form a major urban area in the Antelope Valley.

Lancaster is located approximately 70 miles (110 kilometers) north of downtown Los Angeles (via I-5 and SR 14). San Gabriel Mountains separate it from the Los Angeles Basin, and Tehachapi Mountains separate it from Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley. By the end of 2019, Lancaster had a population of over 157,000, up from 37,000 at the time of its incorporation in 1977.

Lancaster has five business and industrial parks identified by the Greater Antelope Valley Economic Alliance: the Fox Field Industrial Corridor (adjacent to the General William J. Fox Airfield) along Avenue G, North Valley Industrial Center, Lancaster Business Park, Enterprise Business Park, Centerpoint Business Park, and the Southern Amargosa Industrial Area. Many major businesses, such as SYGMA, Rite Aide, Micheals, and Bank of America, have been attracted to Lancaster by the former Lancaster Redevelopment Agency. The state of California abolished all local redevelopment agencies in 2012. Lancaster’s economic development department is now responsible for recruiting large employers and attracting retailers and restaurants to Lancaster Town Center, Front Row Center, and other retail centers throughout the city.

Downtown Lancaster was another point of focus for the City and Agency. The Lancaster Old Town Site (LOTS) blends historic buildings with modern amenities, such as a library and performing arts center. Through LOTS, businesses have been renovated and new businesses, such as boutiques and restaurants, have begun to open in the Old Town District.

Lancaster had a 17% unemployment rate in 2009. Due to China’s strength in the face of the global recession, Mayor Rex Parris made recruitment of Chinese manufacturing firms a priority in 2009. Mayor Parris led a trade delegation to China in early 2010. A key element of this trade mission was a visit to Shenzhen, China, where representatives of BYD, a global leader in battery, alternative energy, solar panel, and vehicle manufacturing, met with participants. BYD was introduced to the City of Lancaster by Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich and his wife, Christine, as a vehicle manufacturer looking to break into the U.S. market.

Located in Los Angeles County, California, the city of Lakewood is a suburb of Los Angeles. In 2010, the city had a population of 80,048. Aside from Long Beach to the west and south, Bellflower to the north, Cerritos to the northeast, Cypress to the east, Hawaiian Gardens to the southeast, Hawaiian Gardens borders Long Beach to the west and south. Several major thoroughfares run through the area, including Lakewood (SR 19), Bellflower, and Del Amo Boulevards, as well as Carson and South Streets. East of the city is the San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605).

A planned community was established in Lakewood following World War II. In early 1949, Louis Boyar, Mark Taper and Ben Weingart began work on their plan which helped in transforming mass-produced housing from its beginnings in the 1930s and 1940s into the reality of the 1950s. After finishing their plan in 1953, they were credited with “altering forever the map of Southern California.”

Veterans of World War II were eligible for down payment-free mortgage loans and a 30-year mortgage at only 4 percent interest. March 24, 1950, marked the first day of sales, and thousands of people lined up to view new model homes. The Lakewood Park sales office reported that more than 200,000 people visited it over the course of April, and more than 1,000 families bought homes (30 on average per day). In one instance, 107 homes sold within one hour. Included in those costs were principal, interest, and insurance, which amounted to $44 to $56 monthly.

Records were broken during the construction of Lakewood. Over three years, bare fields became 17,500 houses. Approximately 40 to 60 houses were completed per day and a record 110 were completed in a single day.

The major thoroughfares in Lakewood are primarily boulevards with landscaped medians, along with residential neighborhoods on either side. In contrast to most similar layouts, access to the main road from the frontage road is limited to infrequently spaced collector streets. The design, hailed by urban planners of the day, is a compromise between the traditional urban grid and contemporary suburban and exurban design that involves winding streets and cul-de-sacs.

As Lakewood expanded into a population of more than 70,000, its municipal needs grew as well. A 1953 ballot proposal offered Lakewood three options: be annexed to nearby Long Beach, remain unincorporated and receive county services, or incorporate as a city under a novel plan that continues county services. The latter option won out and residents voted to annex the city in 1954, becoming the first city in Los Angeles County to annex since 1939, and the largest city in the country to do so.

The city of La Verne is located in Los Angeles County, California, United States. According to the 2010 census, the city’s population was 31,063 compared with 31,638 at the 2000 census.

Located in the San Gabriel Valley, below the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, La Verne is a suburb 30 miles (48 km) east of Los Angeles. The city has a total area of 8.562 square miles (22.18 km2), according to the United States Census Bureau. The city is located east of San Dimas and west of Claremont. It is situated south of Pomona. La Verne is bisected by California State Route 210 in an east-west direction, and Historic U.S. Route 66 also runs through the city.

On climate maps, La Verne is shown as having a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated “Csb”.

Spanish settlers first settled in the area in the 1830s when Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado granted the 15,000-acre (61 km2) Rancho San Jose land grant to Ygnacio Palomares and Ricardo Véjar in 1837. Among the land were the present-day cities Pomona, Claremont, San Dimas, Glendora, and La Verne. Palomares built an adobe which still stands in Pomona as the First House of Rancho San Jose. After moving a mile or so northeast, Palomares constructed the Ygnacio Palomares Adobe. He secured a tract of land a mile west for his nephew Jose Dolores Palomares.

A tract of Jose Palomares’ land was purchased by Isaac Lord in the mid-1880s, and he convinced the Santa Fe Railroad to extend its line across towards Los Angeles. Having surveyed the land for building lots, Lord had a large land sale in 1887, naming the new town ‘Lordsburg’ after himself. A large Lordsburg hotel was also built by him during the land boom, but the boom had ended by the time the hotel was completed. After it sat empty for several years, it was purchased by four German Baptist Brethren who convinced other members of that denomination it would make a great place for a university. This led to Lordsburg College being founded in 1891.

During the summer, residents planted citrus trees, which flourished. The town was incorporated as La Verne in 1906. In the early 20th century, Lordsburg became known as the “Heart of the Orange Empire.” La Verne, however, thrived as a center of the citrus industry until the citrus industry gradually declined after World War II. Two of the last orange groves are now on the grounds of the La Verne Mansion and Heritage Park.

City of La Puente is in Los Angeles County, California, United States of America. The city had a population of 39,816 at the 2010 census and is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) east of downtown Los Angeles.

There are approximately 3.5 square miles (9.1 km2) of land in La Puente, which is mostly flat, located at 34°1′57′′N 117°57′19′′W (34.032410, -117.955195).

A Kizh tribe originally occupied the area now occupied by the city of La Puente. Language specialists translate Awingna as a place of dwelling. The chief of Awingna (who held sway over several other nearby villages) was baptized in 1774 at Mission San Gabriel.

On the National Register of Historic Places is the La Puente Valley Women’s Club

During the Portola expedition in 1769, the first Europeans visited parts of Alta California inland. The party camped along the east bank of the San Gabriel River on July 30, what is now Bassett, in unincorporated California. Juan Crespi noted in his diary that they had to build a bridge (Spanish for “bridge”) to cross the San Gabriel River the following day.

With the establishment of Mission San Gabriel, Awingna and what is now La Puente became Rancho La Puente, an outpost and ranch established as part of the mission. Jedediah Smith and his party visited this rancho in November 1826, the first Americans to travel overland to California.

During the 1830s, former mission ranchos were transferred to private ownership after missions were secularized. The 48,000-acre Rancho La Puente (190 km2) was granted to John Rowland and William Workman in 1842. The area was originally named Puente (bridge in Spanish) in 1884 because the noun used in old Spanish was feminine, compared to modern Spanish el Puente. It’s written with the spelling “the bridge” in Crespi’s diary, and this spelling has persisted over time.

As early as the 1930s, the area was known for its fruit and walnut groves. La Puente even held the world’s largest walnut packing factory for a time[13] Before being closed and turned into housing for the 20th century, the tiny airport called ‘Skyranch’ moved to the suburbs from 1944 to 1951. La Puente is heavily urbanized today, but many remnants of its founding, such as the Workman and Temple Homestead Museum in City of Industry, remain.

La Puente has been undergoing redevelopment of its business districts. Local governments, however, have been relatively unsuccessful in attracting big-box retailers and restaurant chains. Several aging strip malls from the 1950s remain in La Puente.

La Mirada is a city in southeast Los Angeles County, California, and one of the gateway cities. The 2010 census recorded a population of 48,527, up from 46,783 at the 2000 census. Its main attractions include the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and the Splash La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center. Biola University, an evangelical Christian institution of higher education, is located there.

Andrew McNally, a printer and mapmaker from Chicago (see Rand McNally), and his son-in-law Edwin Neff developed La Mirada. McNally paid $200,000 in 1888 for over 2,200 acres (8.9 km2) of Rancho Los Coyotes, south of Whittier. His home, Windermere Ranch, was built on 700 acres (2.8 km2) of land surrounded by olive, orange, and lemon groves. The oil plant, which was of the highest quality, was built on Stage Road, along with the railroad station. It was from here that his olive oil and fruit were shipped throughout the United States.

McNally’s daughter and son-in-law inherited his property in 1896. In 1950, McNally and Neff formed the La Mirada Land Company, which published a booklet entitled “The Country Gentleman in California” to help sell land, complete with pictures, a map, and descriptions of olive, alfalfa, lemon, and grapefruit groves.

“Along Your Way”, a “Station by Station Description of the Santa Fe Route Through the Southwest”, describes La Mirada as a town with a population of 213, surrounded by orange, lemon, walnut, and olive groves, oil wells, an olive oil factory, and a fruit packing house.

In 1953, the land was sold for $5,250,000 to a subdivision, making it one of the largest real estate transactions in California. Louis M. Halper, a prominent residential and commercial builder in the Southland, purchased 2,100 acres of La Mirada land in 1954 for $8,000,000. During his two-year construction period, Halper constructed a $150,000,000 community with schools, shopping centers, and 10,000 homes. In 2004, his firm acquired the La Mirada property from a group of corporations and Harold L. Shaw, who founded the development 20 years earlier. According to him, the entire community would be redesigned to maximize the advantages of a modern planned city. To ensure quality, Halper established the La Mirada Civic Council as a community developer. Houses were priced between $13,000 and $16,000. From 100 homes in 1960 to over 8,000 in 1960, La Mirada grew rapidly. It was incorporated on March 23, 1960 and given the name “Mirada Hills.” The name change became official on December 15, 1960.

The community of La Habra Heights features plenty of open space without sidewalks. There are no commercial establishments (stores, gas stations) in La Habra Heights, apart from a few small real estate offices, a nursery, a private golf course, and numerous home-based businesses. The city’s most famous park is Hacienda Park, which runs along Hacienda Road. La Habra, a neighboring city located in Orange County, is located south of La Habra Heights.

Climate maps indicate that La Habra Heights has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate abbreviated “Csa” on them.

La Habra Heights has a combination fire department with full-time (Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Administrator, Fire Captains), part-time (Training Chief, EMS Chief, Fire Captains, & Firefighter Paramedics) and volunteer (Firefighters, Driver Operators) employees working in the fire station behind City Hall on Hacienda Road. It provides all hazard and all risk response for its citizens by staffing a minimum of two Engines daily with Engine 71 providing advanced life support (ALS – with paramedics) and Engine 72 providing basic life support (BLS). For EMS calls, the department charges several hundred dollars. However, paramedic subscriptions are free. The Fire Station is under contract with Care Ambulance, which has one dedicated BLS unit available at all times for patient transport. As a result of its Mutual Aid agreement with Los Angeles County Fire, the Los Angeles Highlands HFD can also assist the surrounding communities as needed. In order to provide a portion of the west end of La Habra Heights with Automatic Aid, there is an Automatic Aid agreement. There may be additional firefighting resources available under the Mutual Aid provisions of the State of California. La Habra Heights contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s regional station in the City of Industry for law enforcement.

On Hacienda Road, there is one park named “The Park,” which is a center of community activities. There is an Avocado Festival held at the park each year. The La Habra Heights Improvement Association hosts events such as Music in the Park, Halloween Haunts, Breakfast with Santa, and an Easter Egg Hunt. Highland Riders promote wholesome family recreation, education, fellowship, and sportsmanship in equestrian circles. This is achieved through offering horse shows, trail rides, and other riding contests, as well as providing equestrian sport and educational activities. In addition to a basketball court, volleyball court, and stage, there is a gymnasium. A horse riding arena and practice corral are also available. Among the park’s amenities are a playground for kids, a Gazebo, and picnic tables.

The city of La Canada Flintridge, or La Canada (Spanish for ‘The Canyon’), is situated in Los Angeles County, California, at the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is based in Crescenta Valley, on the western edge of Southern California’s San Gabriel Valley.

This area was known as Rancho La Canada in the Spanish and Mexican eras. La Canada and Flintridge were two separate communities before the city was incorporated in 1976.  Flintridge is named after U.S. Senator Frank P. Flint, who developed the area and named it La Canada after the Spanish word canada.

Flintridge encompasses the southern section of the city, covering the northern flank of the San Rafael Hills, but more generally including most areas south of Foothill Blvd. North of Foothill Blvd, the eastern part of Flintridge was also originally considered Flintridge and still houses Flintridge Riding Club and Flintridge Preparatory School.

There is often just a reference to “La Cañada” or “Flintridge” when referring to the entire city. To illustrate unity between the two communities that merged, the full city name does not contain a hyphen.

According to a 2015 Forbes edition, La Cañada Flintridge ranked 121st on the list of most expensive U.S. cities.

There were originally two newspapers serving the city: the La Cañada Valley Sun, a community division of the Los Angeles Times, and the La Canada Outlook. Due to financial issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Los Angeles Times announced in April 2020 that its local papers, including the La Canada Valley Sun, would be shutting down. In a short time, the La Canada Outlook announced they had bought the Valley Sun and were rebranding their paper as the La Canada Outlook Valley Sun.

La Cañada Flintridge is home to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), although its mailing address is in Pasadena. In addition to robotic exploration of the Solar System, NASA is the most important research and development center in the United States.

Hahamongna Watershed Park (formerly Oak Grove Park) is home to the first Frisbee golf course, outside of La Cañada Flintridge and across from La Canada High School.

North America’s largest collection of camellias can be found at Descanso Gardens.

There was a new town center opened in La Cañada on August 21, 2008. It features a remodeled Taylor’s Steakhouse, a Panera Bread, a HomeGoods store, a Habit Burger Grill, a Blaze Pizza, and other retail and dining establishments. Until their bankruptcy and eventual closure in April 2016, the Sports Chalet flagship store and corporate headquarters were the anchor tenants. A small-format Target store replaced the Sport Chalet store as a “test-in-concept”. Next door, the old headquarters for Sports Chalet has become the new city hall, replacing its 1975 predecessor.

The oldest church in the city is La Cañada Congregational Church, formerly Church of the Lighted Window.

Lanterman House, a museum and local historical archive, was built in 1915, when the town was a growing settlement.

The city of Irwindale is in Los Angeles County, in the San Gabriel Valley. During the 2010 census, there were 1,422, down from 1,446 at the 2000 census. There are three ZIP codes serving the area: 91010, which is shared with Duarte, 91702, which is shared with Azusa, and 91706, which is shared with Baldwin Park.

Rock quarries are the major source of revenue for Irwindale, despite having relatively few residents. Also located in the city are the Irwindale Event Center, as well as the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area near the San Gabriel River, a brewery owned by the Miller Brewing Company, and a sriracha sauce factory owned by Huy Fong Foods Inc.

Renaissance Pleasure Faire of Southern California relocated to the city in 2005 from Glen Helen Regional Park in Devore, its previous home. As a full-service city, Irwindale has local police and library services. Several parks are available for children, teens and the elderly, including a skate park and a teen center and a public swimming pool. Housing dominates the city’s northern part, north of Cypress Street and north of Irwindale Avenue. In addition, there is a tract of housing near the southeastern corner of Meridian Street to the north of the rest of the housing.

There are several ranches in Irwindale that were part of land grants given by Alta California Governor Juan Alvarado of the Rancho La Puente, Rancho Azusa de Dalton, Rancho Azusa de Duarte, and Rancho San Francisquito. In the 1860s, the families of Gregorio Fraijo and Fecundo Ayon, both from Nicaragua, settled here. After the invention of the automobile in the early 1900s, significant economic growth didn’t occur until the area’s rocks and sand became in demand for the pavement of roads. In 1957, the city was incorporated into the city of Springhill.

Beginning in 1976, Irwindale took advantage of urban redevelopment laws, and prospered in the decade that followed. It attracted Miller Brewing Company, Home Savings of America, and other companies.

Although Irwindale has its own police department (Anthony Miranda is the police chief as of 2014), the city contracts with the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the emergency response (Fire Station #48 is located on Arrow Highway 1/2 mile west of Irwindale Avenue), while basic paramedic services are available from the Fire Station on Los Angeles Street in Baldwin Park, as well as the Fire Station in nearby Azusa.
