October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month!
The City of Carson celebrated 45 years as a city by hosting an Anniversary Parade. What Are Some Special Things About the City of Carson? One of the city's first accomplishments was the construction of the Carson Mall (now renamed the South Bay Pavilion at Carson) in 1972. Other notable high points include the growth of Cal -State University Dominguez Hills (and the building of Olympic Velodrome which brought the 1984 games to Carson), the opening of the Carson Civic Center (including the Carson City Hall, a post office, sheriff station, a large Carson Community Center, and a nearby Hilton hotel), the Carson Regional Library, and the creation of a series of fine neighborhood parks. The newest addition, the Home Depot National Training Center, opened in 2003. But the city has had to fight long and hard to surmount those initial hardships, which still act as a hurdle to the city's progress. For instance, many of the prime building sites in Carson have a previous history as landfills or former refineries. This means any new construction on such contaminated industrial sites require lengthy procedures to deal with environmental concerns.

But the City has been successful in making the most of such problem areas, reclaiming many areas formerly considered unusable. The new Carson Town Center, for instance (which opened in 1996), was built on land formerly used by the Golden Eagle refinery, while the proposed new L.A. MetroMall will be built upon a former landfill next to the 405 freeway. Learn more about history.asp
