Lakewood is known as "Tomorrow's City Today."
- Lakewood is a city in Los Angeles County, California. The population was 78,107 in the 2021 census. It is adjacent to Long Beach. Incorporated as a city in 1954, Lakewood grew rapidly during the 1950s, evolving into a well-developed city by 1960. Lakewood is considered a pioneer in the realm of city services, as it was the first city in the nation to contract for all of its municipal services. Most of these services are provided by Los Angeles County, with others furnished by public agencies and private industry.
- The City of Lakewood organizes recreation programs for residents of all ages. Programs for kids and adults are conveniently scheduled, including Tot Lots, after-school centers and Lakewood Youth Sports. Adult sports and activity programs abound for working adults. For seniors, Lakewood operates two community centers where residents can have fun, take classes and receive supportive advise on social services, including facilities for seniors to get a nutritious lunch. The Lakewood Women's Club works closely with the City in all of these activities with our fundraising efforts.
