City of Torrance
Home Menu100 Years of Torrance Incorporation
From 1912 until 1921, Torrance was a privately held city. In 1921, the population of Torrance was about 1,800, and the community put the idea of incorporating Torrance as a city to a vote. The vote to incorporate passed, 355-11, and the city was formally incorporated in May, 1921. Today, Torrance is a diverse, growing and thriving community.
Join us in celebrating this milestone by experiencing all that Torrance has to offer! Each week we will release 10 new experiences for you to enjoy.
