A Rich History

When Spanish settlers received a land grant for the town of Norwalk in 1784, the land was occupied by the Shoshonean Native American Tribe. After the Mexican-American War, the town's land was subdivided and made available for sale as part of the state of California. In 1873, railroads were built throughout the town, which triggered a growth period for the region. In 1874 the town was officially named "Norwalk" and in 1880 the first school system was established.

A cheese factory was the first major industry in the town and Norwalk was declared a dairy center by the turn of the century. The city continued to expand and flourish throughout the 20th century and is, today, a vibrant community with a thriving economy and rich culture.

    Located on Norwalk's Alondra Boulevard, Senor Baja boasts the tastiest Mexican food around. Visit this local hotspot on Mondays or Wednesday for Senor Baja's famous 99-cent fish tacos. They take only the freshest fish, fry it up on the spot, serve it with cilantro, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, and Senor Baja's own delectable white sauce, and wrap it all up in a freshly made corn tortilla. Some other favorite dishes include the carne asada burrito, shrimp burrito, chicken tacos, and horchata- a deliciously sweet blend of cinnamon, rice, and milk. This hole-in-the-wall local gem is known for its quick and accommodating service, as well as Senor Baja's "condiment counter" offering an array of seasonings including limes, peppers, and homemade red and green salsas.

  • What do people do for fun in Norwalk?

    In addition to the array of great dining spots situated in Norwalk, residents can take advantage of the many other activities available to them here.

    Based on safety and quality of education, Norwalk is an okay place for families. With a crime index of 27 out of 100, the crime rate in Norwalk is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America. However, compared to other communities of similar population size, Norwalk has a crime rate that is noticeably lower than the average. Although Norwalk is served by various school districts, the main one, Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District, was rated better than 30.0 percent of school districts in California and just 10.1 percent of school districts in the country. While Little Lake City Elementary School District has received similarly mediocre reviews, ABC Unified School District has fared far better.

  • How much are utilities in Norwalk?

    Utilities can vay widely depending on your family size and the size of your home. A family of three living in Norwalk should expect to pay an average of about $300 per month for utilities. Because the summers are so hot, your utilities bill will certainly be highest from June through August, when you'll be using the air conditioning regularly. Heating expenses are usually not much of an issue since there are few months when you really need to turn on the furnace; and then, it's typically at night.
