Lynwood is best known in Southern California for Plaza Mexico, a retail and dining complex whose arcades and public spaces draw on Mexican urban architecture. Located in Los Angeles County, the city sits southeast of downtown Los Angeles, with the Los Angeles River forming much of its western edge. Lynwood’s character is strongly shaped by Latino communities, reflected in local businesses, food and everyday life around Imperial Highway. Incorporated in 1921, it developed from an agricultural area into a dense municipality within the Los Angeles Basin. St. Francis Medical Center is among its major institutions.
