The Community of Industry

Industry (or City of Industry) is a city located in Los Angeles County, California. The City of Industry is located within the core of a 40 mile radius encompassing Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire with easy access to four freeways. The City of Industry, with its wide streets, no street parking, trees, landscaping, beautiful office buildings, manufacturing and warehouse facilities, is the prestigious address for business in Southern California.

This historical description of the City of Industry is derived from newspaper clippings, personal accounts and photos from commercial, aerial, government, and community photographers. It was incorporated June 18, 1957. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 777. The reason the city was incorporated was to prevent surrounding cities from annexing industrial land for tax revenue. The city of Industry has no business taxes and is primarily funded through retail sales tax from shopping centers located within the city limits. There is also a revenue-generating hillside hotel resort which is completely surrounded by the city of La Puente but actually located in the City of Industry. The Homestead Museum is located in the City of Industry. Industry is the home of the Puente Hills Mall, a major shopping center that was the Twin Pines Mall in the Back to the Future movie series. It also features a McDonald's restaurant that is used strictly for filming movies and commercials. Also in Industry is Vineland Drive-In, the only operating drive-in theater in Los Angeles and Orange County.
