About Lomita, California
Lomita is a city of 20,921 people in Los Angeles County, and its Spanish name means "little hill." The Gabrielino were the first people to live here. In 1784 the Spanish Crown granted Rancho San Pedro, more than 75,000 acres, to a soldier named Juan JosΓ© DomΓnguez. Over the years his descendants split the land among the family and sold parcels to newcomers. They also gave some up while proving their claim, first to Mexico in 1828 and then to the United States in 1858.
By the 1930s most Lomita families made their living from truck farming, raising vegetables, fruit and eggs. The town once covered 7 square miles, but nearby cities annexed much of it, including the airfield called Lomita Fields, which is now Zamperini Field. To stop those losses and keep out high-rise apartments, residents made Lomita a city on June 30, 1964. Today it covers 1.9 square miles.
- Little Engines of LomitaIrene Lewis and her husband Martin ran Little Engines of Lomita, a business that made kits for building live steam locomotives. Her engines appeared in the films The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) and Von Ryan's Express (1965). The work pushed her to take a degree in mechanical engineering late in life.
- A railroad museum from 1966In 1966 Irene Lewis opened the Lomita Railroad Museum, built to look like the Boston & Maine's Greenwood Station in Wakefield, Massachusetts. It was the first museum of its kind west of Denver. In 1967 she donated it to the city in memory of Martin.
- A 1901 Baldwin locomotiveThe museum's steam engine is a Baldwin built in 1901, and it pulls a Southern Pacific whaleback tender. Two cabooses sit nearby, a Union Pacific from 1910 and a Santa Fe from 1949. A full-size copy of a 1920s water tower went up in 2000. Next door, a small park holds a Union Pacific boxcar from 1913 and a Union Oil tank car from 1923.
- Sister city since 1981In October 1981 Lomita became a sister city of Takaishi, in Osaka, Japan. The city is also home to Nishiyamato Academy of California, a school teaching Japanese children through the elementary and junior high grades. Ryotaro Tanose, a former member of Japan's Diet, founded it in April 1993 as a sister school to Nishiyamato Academy in Nara Prefecture. It first opened in Rolling Hills Estates.
- Jim Thorpe and Ted LillyThree well-known names are tied to Lomita: the Native American athlete Jim Thorpe, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly, and Edward O. Thorp, who taught mathematics, wrote books, managed a hedge fund and played blackjack.
