TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW
Torrance, is a city in Los Angeles County, in Southern California. It is about 21 miles from Los Angeles. The United States 2020 Census, lists Torrance’s population at over 147,000.
The Indigenous residents of the land that is now Torrance were the Tongva Native Americans. It was originally part of the Spanish land grant of Rancho San Pedro. Torrance was founded in 1911, by real estate developer Jared Sydney Torrance, and marketed as a planned modern industrial/residential community. Jared Torrance formed the Dominguez Land Company, and hired the Olmstead Brothers firm to design the planned community. From 1912 to 1921, Torrance was a privately held city. Torrance was incorporated as a city in 1921, and a five-member Board of Trustees was established.
In the 1920’s, oil was discovered and the Torrance-Wilmington Oil Field was formed. With the oil discovery, Torrance experienced an economic boom, and further diversified economically with iron, steel, aluminum, petroleum and agriculture. Torrance was also a vital link to the Pacific Electric Railway Depot and has its own Airport. Torrance is now considered a residential community of the Greater Los Angeles-Long Beach Area.
