History

Torrance is a coastal city with a mild climate and quiet beaches. This residential and 'lite-tech' industrial city is the birthplace of the American Youth Soccer Organization. In the early 1900s, real estate developer Jared Sidney Torrance, with other investors, saw the need for a mixed industrial-residential community south of Los Angeles. They purchased part of an old Spanish land grant and hired an architect to design a new, planned community. In 1912 the city was named after Torrance. Some of the original houses still survive in the historical district. Originally, Dutch, German, Greek, Italian and Portuguese, as well as Mexican-American, Hispanic, and Latino immigrants were employed in agriculture, petroleum, and manufacturing industries such as fish canneries. World War II brought in aerospace manufacture and oil refineries, which were closed during the recession of the 1990s. In the past couple of decades, Asian immigration has transformed Torrance into a multicultural city, bringing in two of the three largest Japanese automakers, Toyota Motor Sales USA and American Honda Motor Company. Robinson Helicopters are designed and built in Torrance, as are Honeywell's Garrett Turbochargers. Alcoa Fastening Systems, Pacific Sales, PC Mall and Pelican Products are also based in Torrance.
