My original name reflected the agricultural focus of the
community. Dairy Valley had 100,000 cows on more than 400
dairies and 106,300 chickens on licensed poultry farms.
The
cows outnumbered the City's 3,439 residents by 29 to one.
My name change to Cerritos was made official on January
10,
1967. Cerritos was a natural choice, since the area was
located near land that was part of the original Spanish
land grant Rancho Los Cerritos, which figured prominently
in the history of this region before California became a
state. Almost 50 percent of my acreage is designed for
residential living. By 1972, the population had grown from
the 1970 census count of 15,856 to 37,738, making ME the
fastest growing city in California. A total of 24 parks in
me provide you with playing courts, athletic fields,
picnic
shelters and meeting rooms. Also, you can swim laps or
take
courses at the Cerritos Olympic Swim Center. My Iron-Wood
Nine Golf Course is a popular course with you golfers. The
Community Gymnasiums at Cerritos and Whitney High Schools
provides youth activities and indoor sports for us all!
