South Gate Overview
Located just seven miles from the legendary Los Angeles scene, South Gate is a winning hub of California life.

What is the history of South Gate?
Incorporated in 1923, South Gate established itself early on as a popular suburb of greater Los Angeles. Floral dominance helped boost the local economy, and by the 1960s the town was affectionately referred to as 'Azalea City'. Still, South Gate largely serves as a bedroom community to LA, with large development spurning growth throughout the 1980s and 90s.

What is the South Gate commute like?
