About Cudahy

The city of Cudahy is located in southeastern Los Angeles County. It is one of the Gateway Cities along with Bell to the north, Bell Gardens on the east, South Gate to the south, and Huntington Park to the west. Friendly neighborhoods welcome residents, local parks provide beautiful manicured lawns for rest and recreation as well as athletic fields and exercise trails, and amenities are readily available. The convenient location of the city offers easy access to freeways and regional rail and bus service as well.

Michael Cudahy, the founder of the city wanted a country feel in the new community. To accomplish this all of the building lots were very large. This allowed home builders to maintain gardens and fruit trees on their property as well as horse stables and chicken coops. The area was popular to farmers from the south and mid-west who had lost their farms and the population grew. Steel and automobile plants moved into the area after World War II and the city prospered. The downturn in the economy forced local factories to closed many residents were forced to move away to find employment elsewhere. The city survived and took on a more urban look with houses and complexes built on the large lots. Today it is a blue collar suburb.

Real estate in the community is now a mix of single and multiple family homes and condominium and townhouse complexes. Neighborhoods have an urban vibe with small manicured yards, shaded patios, and streets lined with oak and palm trees. Housing is affordable and residents will find a variety of sizes and styles to choose from.

There are three elementary schools, a school that serves grades kindergarten through twelve, and one high school. These schools are under the supervision of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

The city is dedicated to making life better for all of the residents. They coordinate a monthly food distribution program, host a lunch program for residents 18 and younger and also for senior citizens. Additionally, they have a youth foundation that sponsors events, sports leagues and field trips to professional sporting events and local attractions. Recently they developed and opened a new park with open green space and a soccer field. Residents can also take advantage of many nearby parks and nature preserves.
