Located in the exact geographical center of Los Angeles County's
South Bay district, Lawndale was originally barley fields, then
chicken ranches and small farms, growing vegetables for sale in
nearby Inglewood and Redondo Beach. Retaining some of its rural
character even after World War II, Lawndale gradually transformed
into suburbia along with nearby communities, fighting all the while
to retain its own identity and staving off aggressive annexation
bids by surrounding cities. Finally in 1959, Lawndale incorporated,
ending civic contentiousness. Despite the bustle of the high-end
Galleria at South Bay, as well as Lawndale's close proximity to
some of the most tourism-friendly beach cities in California and
its bisection by L.A.'s busiest freeway, the I-405, the city's
neighborhoods on the outskirts of Los Angeles International Airport
retain the quiet ambiance evinced by its bedroom-community name.
