Hawaiian Gardens was incorporated in 1964. It draws its name from an entertaining story. In the 1920's, the area was a rest stop. A local fruit stand owner built a bamboo frame shack and covered it with palm leaves to sell his fruit at the rest stop. His little stand grew in popularity, and went by the name Hawaiian Gardens. The name stuck and was one of the few landmarks in the then rural area. So was born the city roughly 40 years later.
