BELL GARDENS

Welcome to Bell Gardens, a vibrant city steeped in history and nestled in the heart of Los Angeles County. With a population of over 42,000 residents, Bell Gardens is a thriving community known for its rich cultural heritage, agricultural roots, and dynamic urban landscape.

Named after American businessman James George Bell, Bell Gardens traces its origins back to the early 20th century when Japanese immigrants established vegetable gardens and rice fields in the area, giving rise to its iconic name. The city's connection to the land dates back even further, with a Native American history dating back thousands of years.

One of the city's most notable landmarks is the oldest building in Los Angeles County, a testament to its deep-rooted history and heritage. Bell Gardens was once a bustling agricultural center during the Spanish Empire and Mexican government eras, with the land grant of Rancho San Antonio encompassing several neighboring cities including Bell, Maywood, and Huntington Park.
