About Norwalk

With a population of 112,000, Norwalk ranks as California's 58th largest city.  This LA suburban city was founded in the late 1800's, but took another hundred years to incorporate (1957).

The Norwalk area was originally settled by Spanish settlers who set up several prosperous missions. A Senior Manuel Nieto, a Spanish soldier, was deeded a Spanish land grant (Rancho Los Nietos) in 1784 and included all the lands of present day Norwalk.  After the Mexican American War of 1848. Nieto's Rancho was subdivided and put up for sale.  Buyers flocked to buy the fertile lands sporting incredibly huge sycamore trees.

In 1873, the Railroad came to town, and local bigwigs, the Sproul family, sold land on the stipulatio that it be used as a passenger stop, thus guaranteeing the community's economic future.  Locals would promote tours to "see the country", which is to say, invest or buy land.

By the 1890's the city prospered with many fine houses intermixed within successful agricultural operations.

With many thanks to it's Dutch residents, by 1900, Norwalk was established as a major dairy center with nearly every major farm carrying dairy.  Sugar beet farming became the biggest cash crop in town. 

After the 1950s, the demographics shifted from predominantly white to include generous portions of the Hispanic population.  Norwalk gradually became a non-entity as the town grew significantly as a residential area, but diminished greatly as a producer or manufacturer of any essential goods.  Today, almost all the jobs are in the public sector, schools, city, hospitals, police.

California Cities stiffen regulations on medicinal marijuana  - 2016

The City Council Jan. 12 joined surrounding cities in stiffening regulations banning marijuana dispensaries, generally by adding prohibitions against delivery and cultivation along with sales.
Norwalk did the same Jan. 5 and Santa Fe Springs is expected to take action on the issue Jan. 14.

Downey’s unanimous action came over the plea of a woman to postpone a decision pending possible state action to devise conditions for such shops, possibly by limiting their number under strict controls.
