| About South
Gate - South Gate is a city located in Los
Angeles County, California, United States. It is part
of the Gateway Cities region of southeastern Los Angeles
County. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total
population of 96,375.
South Gate developed during the 1920s and 1930s both
as an industrial city (primarily in "metal-bashing"
industries) and a working-class bedroom community. During
the 1940s and 1950s, South Gate was one of the most
fiercely segregationist cities in Southern California;
gangs of white youths were known to prowl the streets
looking for blacks who dared to cross over from neighboring
Watts. Since the 1970s, South Gate has had a large Latino
community, which became dominant in the 1990s as working-class
Chicano and immigrant Mexican families filled the vacuum
left by white flight. Several popular Mexican American
gangsta rap celebrities are also from South Gate, including
Cypress Hill.
