The Los Angeles Basin defines the setting of Cerritos — its broad, level coastal-plain terrain has supported a planned, largely residential city in southeastern Los Angeles County. Incorporated in 1956 as Dairy Valley, the community adopted the name Cerritos in 1967, marking its transition from an agricultural area to a growing suburb. The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts is a major local cultural venue, while the award-winning Cerritos Library is known for its distinctive themed interiors and public programs. Cerritos also sits within the wider Southern California urban region, with Orange County immediately to the south and east.
