Commerce is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. At the 2010 census, the population was 12,823, up from 12,568 at the 2000 census. The City of Commerce is usually referred to in this context to distinguish it from the common noun. From the west, Vernon is bordered by Los Angeles, from the northwest, East Los Angeles is bordered by East Los Angeles, Montebello is bordered by the east, Bell Gardens and Downey are on the south, and Maywood is bordered by the southwest. As part of its southwestern boundary, the Los Angeles River joins the Rio Hondo, which separates it from Downey. A Metrolink station is located at Commerce, which provides access to the Long Beach and Santa Ana freeways and the Metrolink commuter rail service.
Rancho San Antonio, owned by Antonio Maria Lugo, was located in this area during the 19th century. The area was transformed into an industrial area after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built its main line through it in 1887. After the turn of the 20th century, some of the ranch was sold to Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker, who was reputedly once the wealthiest woman in Los Angeles. During the 19th century, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad (later the Union Pacific) both traveled through the area that would become Whittier, as did the Pacific Electric Railway’s Whittier Line. It wasn’t long before factories arrived. Residents from Bandini, Rosewood, and Laguna joined forces with industrial leaders to promote commerce in the late 1940s. Consequently, they changed the name to match their goal.
City officials incorporated the city in 1960 to stop neighboring cities like Vernon from annexing industrial land for tax revenue, and Maurice Quigley became the city’s first mayor. Commerce managed to preserve many of its manufacturing and goods distribution bases during the turbulent period of deindustrialization that hammered nearby cities such as South Gate and Norwalk and successfully converted former industrial land to profitable commercial uses. The Citadel Outlets mall, which occupies the site of a former tire factory, is a notable example of this phenomenon. As the owner of the Citadel, Steve Craig hosts an annual Clean Up Commerce Day and partners with businesses to beautify a specific area of the city. Commerce has also greatly benefited from the huge increase in international trade traffic, although truck congestion on the Long Beach Freeway is a major source of air pollution.
Chrysler operated a plant in Commerce, California, from 1930 until 1971 near Slauson Avenue and 5800 S Eastern Avenue. After the 1971 model year, Chrysler decided to triple-stack its transport trains for the 1972 model year; the Los Angeles facility was unable to handle this change.
