Cerritos (/səˈriːtoʊz/; Spanish for "Little hills") is a city inLos Angeles County, California, United States, and is one of several cities that constitute theGateway Cities of southeast Los Angeles County. It wasincorporated on April 24, 1956. As of 2020, the population was 49,578. It is part of theLos Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim, California Metropolitan Statistical Area designated by theOffice of Management and Budget.
Cerritos was originally inhabited byNative Americans belonging to theTongva (or "People of the Earth"). The Tongva were called the "Gabrieleños" by the Spanish settlers after the nearbyMission San Gabriel Arcángel. The Tongva were the largest group of indigenous peoples inSouthern California as well as the most developed in the region.[6]The Tongva lived off the land, deriving food from the animals or plants that could be gathered, snared or hunted, and grinding acorns as a staple.[6]
Beginning in the late 15th century, Spanish explorers arrived in the New World and worked their way to the California coast in 1542. The colonization process included "civilizing" the native populations in California by establishing variousmissions. Soon afterward, a town called El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula (Los Angeles today) would be founded and prosper with the aid of subjects fromNew Spain and Native American labor.[6]
One soldier,José Manuel Nieto, was granted a large plot of land by the SpanishKing Carlos III, which he namedRancho Los Nietos. It covered 300,000 acres (120,000 hectares) of what are today the cities of Cerritos,Long Beach,Lakewood,Downey,Norwalk,Santa Fe Springs, part ofWhittier,Huntington Beach,Buena Park andGarden Grove.[6]
The rancho was divided five ways among Nieto's heirs during thenationalization of church property by the Mexican government, with Juan José Nieto retaining the largest plot, calledRancho Los Coyotes. Nieto called the area of Rancho Los Coyotes "cerritos" or "little hills".
After theMexican–American War, the rancho would eventually wind up in the hands of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, which encouraged development and rail lines to be built byHenry E. Huntington and hisPacific Electric Railway company. It was through rapid development, combined with improved transportation systems, that the modern-day city ofArtesia was formed in Rancho Los Coyotes in 1875, and from it, the city ofDairy Valley.
Cranford Airport, a small general-aviation airport, was built around 1946 and consisted of two 2,300-foot runways, one oriented north–south & the other northeast–southwest. Each runway had a parallel taxiway, and a ramp along the south side of the field had two building hangars. The former airport site is on the northwest corner of the intersection of South Street & Carmenita Road. Cranford Airport closed at some point between 1953 and 1954.[7]
The city of Dairy Valley was incorporated on April 24, 1956, as a reaction to nearby Artesia's rapidurbanization. The city's name symbolized the more than 400 dairies, 100,000 cows and 106,300 chickens found within its limits. The cows outnumbered the 3,439 residents by a factor of 29 to 1. The chickens outnumbered the residents by over 30 to 1. The first business license in the new city was for Walter Marlowe's "Dairy Valley Egg Farms".
Two years later, Dairy Valley voted to become a chartered California city. As land values andproperty taxes in California rose in the early 1960s, agriculture became increasingly unprofitable, and development pressures increased. In a special election held on July 16, 1963, residents voted to permit large-scale residential development. As a reflection of its newly planned suburban orientation, the city's name was formally changed to Cerritos on January 10, 1967, after the nearby Spanish land grantRancho Los Cerritos, which figured prominently in the region, and afterCerritos College in neighboringNorwalk.
Cerritos is a prime example of the "fiscalization" of California politics after thetax revolt of the 1970s and the passage ofProposition 13. The only way for California cities to raise long-term tax revenue in light of Proposition 13 was to create as many commercial zones as possible to take advantage of the percentage of county sales tax allocated back tomunicipalities as sales tax revenue. Cerritos was one of the first cities inLos Angeles County to successfully develop large-scale retail zones, such as theLos Cerritos Center andCerritos Auto Square. City leaders reinvested funds into the community with large public works projects and an increasing number of community services and programs.
The currentprogressive nature of the Cerritos government and the unusually strong tax base is best reflected in its facilities. In 1978, Cerritos dedicated the nation's first solar-heatedCity Hall complex. In 1993, theCerritos Center for the Performing Arts opened its doors. In 1994, the City unveiled theCerritos Towne Center project, combining office, retail, lodging, fine arts and dining in an open-air location. In 1997, the city opened the Cerritos Sheriff's Station/Community Safety Center to provide public safety services. In 2002, the City rededicated itspublic library. In 2006, the City celebrated itsgolden anniversary with memorials and the unveiling of a sculpture garden. The assessed valuation of the city is $7,177,428,066.[8]
Between 1970 and 1972, Cerritos was the fastest-growing city in California;[9] the population skyrocketed from 16,000 to 38,000. Since the 1980s, Cerritos has attracted a large number ofFilipino,Korean,Taiwanese,Indian andChinese immigrant families.[10]
On August 31, 1986,Aeroméxico Flight 498, on approach toLos Angeles International Airport fromMexico City, was struck by a smallPiper aircraft that had strayed into a Terminal Control Area without clearance from Air Traffic Control.[11] The Piper crashed into Cerritos Elementary School's unoccupied playground, but theDouglas DC-9 fell inverted (upside-down) and plowed into dense residential zones, immediately flattening four houses. The resulting fire destroyed eight more houses before firefighters could bring it under control. A total of 82 people died, including 15 people on the ground.[12] A sculpture in theCerritos Sculpture Garden memorializes the incident.
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 8.9 square miles (23.05 km2); 8.7 square miles (22.53 km2) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) of it (1.48%) is water.
Cerritos lies along theLos Angeles County andOrange County border. The cities bordering Cerritos on the Los Angeles County side includeArtesia in the center,Bellflower,Lakewood,Norwalk,Santa Fe Springs andLa Mirada.Buena Park andLa Palma border the city on the Orange County side. Other cities in the region includeCypress in Orange County, andHawaiian Gardens andLong Beach in Los Angeles County.
The former postal ZIP code of Cerritos was 90701 and was shared with the city ofArtesia; however, it was later changed to the exclusive 90703 to accommodate the increasing number of new addresses in the city during the mid-1990s.

Cerritos, as well as most of coastalSouthern California, generally has aMediterranean climate. Summers are warm to hot, and winters are mild, rarely falling below freezing.Precipitation occurs predominantly during the winter months.
Cerritos also has a unique "semi-marine" climate pattern within Los Angeles County. The fog that typically covers the beach cities rarely reaches Cerritos, but the breeze that comes along theSan Gabriel River from the Pacific Ocean has a significant cooling effect. As a result, Cerritos is rarely affected by the smog,Santa Ana winds and smothering heat of theLos Angeles Basin.[13]
