Compton East




California is the most populous state of the United States. Located on the Pacific coast of North America, it is bordered by Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico. California is known for its pleasant climate and ethnically diverse population. The name California is most commonly believed derived from a storied paradise peopled by black Amazons and ruled by Queen Califia.
 
East Compton, also known as East Rancho Dominguez, is an unincorporated community and census-designated place, CDP located in southern Los Angeles County, California. The population was 9,286 at the 2000 census. It is an area of low-density residential land use and is a mostly Latino community.
 
East Rancho Dominguez is a Los Angeles County enclave along the eastern side of Compton within five blocks east and west of Atlantic Ave. Alondra Blvd. is the southern border, and three blocks north of Rosecrans Ave. is roughly the northern border. East Rancho Dominguez County Park is in the center of the community.
 
East Rancho Dominguez is within the sphere of influence of the city of Compton, and Compton has tried to annex East Rancho Dominguez, but business and property owners in the area have opposed the annexation.
