Historical Data
Central
Manufacturing
District
is
an
industrial
tract
of
approximately
2800
acres
,
partly
located
within
the
cities
of
Commerce
,
Bell
, and
Vernon
. In
1923
, the
tract
comprised
300
acres
of the
old
Rancho
San
Antonio
,
one
of the
original
Spanish
land
grants
.

Terminal

the
first

erected
at
4814
Loma
Vista
Avenue
, and
serves
as its
landmark
. In
1928
the
assets
were
purchased
by the
Santa
Fe

district
added
new
areas

,
1932
,
1947
and

to
provide

than
2800
acres
