History

Lakewood was originally part of a Mexican land grant called Rancho Los Nietos, granted to Spanish soldier Manuel Nieto in 1784. Developers Louis Boyar, Mark Taper and Ben Weingart are credited with altering forever the map of Southern California when they developed the original master plan that became Lakewood in 1950. Begun in late 1949, the new community was rapidly transformed from a large dairy farm into a suburban development of 17,200 homes, apartments and community facilities and parks for nearly 80,000 people. Three last farms existed in Lakewood in the early 1960s.
