Santa Fe Springs

Built around an early twentieth-century oil field, Santa Fe Springs grew into an incorporated city in southeastern Los Angeles County. The Santa Fe Springs Oil Field, discovered in 1919, triggered a boom that transformed former agricultural land and remains central to the city’s identity. Today, industry, warehouses and residential neighbourhoods occupy a compact part of the Los Angeles Basin, with the engineered channel of the San Gabriel River to the east. Its setting near major freeway corridors reflects the working, logistics-oriented character of this corner of metropolitan Los Angeles.
