History

Cudahy is named for its founder, meat-packing baron Michael Cudahy (who also lent his name to a suburb of Milwaukee), who purchased the original 2,800 acres (11 km²) in 1908 to resell as one acre (4,000 m²) lots. These "Cudahy lots" were notable for their dimensions--in most cases, 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters) in width and 600 to 800 feet in depth, a length equivalent to a city block or more in most American towns. Such parcels, often referred to as "railroad lots," were intended to allow the new town's residents to keep a large vegetable garden, a grove of fruit trees (usually citrus), and a chicken coop or horse stable. This arrangement, which proved popular in the booming towns along the lower reaches of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers, proved particularly attractive to the Southerners and Midwesterners who were leaving their struggling farms in droves in the 1910s and 1920s to start new lives in Southern California. (Well into the 1950s, Cudahy residents were fond of going into the city's tiny downtown on horseback!) Michael Cudahy (1841 - 1910) was an American industrialist. ...

By the early 1960s, increasing property values, as well as changes in zoning permits and property tax assessment formulas, led many Cudahy residents to sell off their homes to real estate developers who radically developed the once lowly-populated town. Where the typical Cudahy lot originally contained only a small one- or two-story house, most parcels today contain at least two duplex or triplex apartment buildings, and often a two- or three-story apartment building that stretches the length of the property, containing dozens of units. From the 1970s onward, these housing units have been filled almost entirely with working-class Latinos. Dr. Seuss Jean Shepherd Ringo Starr John Steinbeck Gloria Steinem Tom Stoppard Hunter S.

The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive. ...


Cudahy is notorious for its gang activity and corrupt local government. "Cudahy resembles a Mexican border town more than it does a Los Angeles suburb. Entrenched gangs and Mexican drug trafficking have trapped working-class legal and illegal immigrants in a cycle of violence and fear, in a city where less than a quarter of the 28,000 residents are eligible to vote."
