How well do you know your South Bay city? Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lawndale and their neighbors have varying resources and ambience. Probably few residents know that much of that springs from their diverse histories, going back to the days of the Ranchos.
The Web site for the South Bay Cities Council of Governments, www.southbaycities.org, offers a historical summary beginning in 1858, the date of the founding of Wilmington.
A resource of the area's council of governments, the site also provides information on local planning and regional issues, industry clusters and unincorporated areas, as well as local Chambers of Commerce and points of interest. It also offers South Bay Watch newsletter, last updated April 14.
