Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District
In 1952, the Southeast Mosquito Abatement District was formed through a citizen petition aimed at controlling mosquitoes emanating from the Los Angeles River, affecting the proximate cities of Maywood, Bell, Huntington Park and portions of Los Angeles County totaling approximately 150 square miles. In 1955, a new permanent headquarters was built in the city of South Gate. District Entomologist Gardner C. McFarland was promoted to the position of District Manager. He was the first Manager to ever serve the District. In the 1960s the special district acquired 14 additional cities and, as a result, established a branch operational facility in North Hollywood.
