About Lakewood
Lakewood is a city located in Los Angeles County, California.
As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 79,345.
It is bordered by Long Beach on the west and south, Bellflower
on the north, Cerritos on the northeast, Cypress on the east,
and Hawaiian Gardens on the southeast. Major thoroughfares include
Lakewood (CA/SR-19), Bellflower, and Del Amo Boulevards and Carson
and South Streets. The San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605) runs
through the city's eastern regions.Sometimes called "an instant
city" because of its origins-going from lima bean fields
in 1950 to a well-developed city in California by 1960-Lakewood
is, along with Levittown, New York, the archetypal post-World
War II American suburb. The vast majority of its housing stock
is small, mass-produced single-story houses on tree-lined streets,
sold initially to white World War II and Korean War veterans who
worked in the factories of Long Beach and the South Bay. Today,
while considerably more ethnically diverse, Lakewood is still
populated by whites to a far greater extent than nearby cities
such as Long Beach, Carson, and Cerritos. Lakewood's primary thoroughfares
are mostly boulevards with landscaped medians, with frontage roads
on either side in residential districts. Unlike in most similar
configurations, however, access to the main road from the frontage
road is only possible from infrequently spaced collector streets.
This arrangement, hailed by urban planners of the day, is a compromise
between the traditional urban grid and the arrangement of winding
"drives" and culs-de-sac that dominates contemporary
suburban and exurban design. http://www.lakewoodcity.org/
