Torrance is a coastal community centrally located in the South Bay. In the early 1900s, real estate developer Jared Sidney Torrance and other investors saw the value of creating a mixed industrial-residential community south of Los Angeles. They purchased part of an old Spanish land grant and hired landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. to design a planned community. The resulting town was founded in October 1912 and named after Mr. Torrance. The city consistently ranks among the safest cities in Los Angeles County.
The Torrance City Parks Department directs and maintains the thirty Torrance City Parks, including the popular Wilson Park, Madrona Marsh Wildlife Preserve & Nature Center, and Torrance Beach. Torrance Beach lies between Redondo Beach and Malaga Cove on Santa Monica Bay. The southernmost stretch of Torrance Beach, on a cove at the northern end of the Palos Verdes peninsula, is known to locals as Rat Beach (Right After Torrance).
There are two major hospitals in the city: Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Little Company of Mary Hospital. A third hospital, Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, lies just outside the city limits (in unincorporated West Carson).
Torrance is home to the U.S. headquarters of Japanese automaker American Honda Motor Company and its luxury vehicle division, Acura. Robinson Helicopters are designed and built in Torrance as are Honeywell's Garrett turbochargers, used on automobile engines worldwide.
Shopping and dining options abound throughout the city and serving the surrounding communities, including Del Amo Fashion Center, one of the five largest shopping malls in the country.
Torrance has a general aviation airport, originally named simply "Torrance Airport" and since renamed Zamperini Field after local track star, World War II hero and Torrance High graduate Louis Zamperini. The airport handles approximately 175,000 annual take-offs and landings (473 per day).
The city operates a main library facility in the city Civic Center, plus five branches at locations throughout the city.
