Welcome To Los Alamitos

Los Alamitos which means "The Little Cottonwoods" in Spanish is a small city in Orange County, California, United States. The city was incorporated on March 1, 1960, the township of Los Alamitos then became a chartered city of Orange County, California and as of the 2000 census the population of the city was 11,536. The clusters of cottonwood trees Spanish explorers saw more than 200 years ago inspired Los Alamitos' name.Come join the friendly city and enjoy it wonderful perks.

The history of the Rancho Los Alamitos is almost a microcosm for the history of westward expansion in the United States. Situated in the flood plain between the mouths of the ever-shifting Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Santa Ana Rivers, the terrain of the rancho is virtually flat, and was subject to frequent flooding. The rancho building itself is located near springs alongside on one of the few small hills in the area. It was also the site of a major Native American Gabrielino (or Tongva) community. The first school in city

was built in 1881 at what is now Katella and Los Alamitos Boulevard. Most of the workers who worked in the fields then were Mexican, but many immigrants from Belgium, France and Germany also came here to work and establish their own farms and businesses. All in all, the city of Little Cottonwoods is best described as "A Little Jewel of a City." Its city seal reflects its ancestry, its official flower, the Daisy, reflects its youth, since it was named by a young boy who nominated the bloom because it was his mother’s favorite flower.
