History
The
early beginnings of Gardena as a community of homes,
apart from the great rancho estates of the ominguez,
Amestoy, Ducazau, and Rosecrans families, date back
to the 1880s. A Ventura man, Spencer R. Thorpe, is credited
with having started the first settlement in Gardena
Valley, centered near the intersection now known as
161st Street and Figueroa.
The
City of Gardena was incorporated on September 11, 1930.
It combined the rural communities of Gardena, Moneta,
and Strawberry Park into a Municipal Corporation, Sixth
Class City. At that time Gardena was a small farming
community of about 20,000 people. By action of the State
Legislature in 1955, all Sixth Class Cities were officially
designated as General Law Cities. As a General Law City
there is no charter other than the laws, ordinances
and resolutions passed and adopted by the City Council,
and the appropriate statutes of the State of California.
Today
Gardena is an active and progressive residential and
business community with a City government that prides
itself in providing a full range of qualified services
to the community.
