Incorporated in 1922, Hawthorne has been dubbed “Hub of the South Bay” because it has quick and easy access to Southern California offerings such as culture, sports, entertainment, the mountains and the beach...only four miles to the Pacific Ocean!

More than half the area is residential with twice as many apartment dwellers as single family homes plus some light industry and commercial business. Crime is average for a city this size—population 77,700.

Served by three school districts: the Hawthorne Elementary District, Centinela Valley District and Wiseburn Elementary District percentiles rank from 40 to 90. Hawthorne was named in honor of author Nathaniel Hawthorne and incorporated in 1929. There are two libraries and a half dozen parks.

Downtown Los Angeles is about 25 miles away. The light rail can get you to downtown, LAX and Long Beach.

You can reach the Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce at (310) 676-1163.
