Celebrating 100 Through Youthful Eyes
In 1912, Jared Sidney Torrance decided to turn his vision of a mixed industrial and residential community into reality. Now, almost one hundred years later, the City of Torrance has developed into a large (8th largest in Los Angeles County) well-balanced community that stands as a model of progress and innovation. As youth representatives of the Torrance Centennial Committee, we would like to bring you monthly highlights of the celebration of Torrance's 100th birthday. In keeping with the committee's motto, "Looking Back, Moving Forward", we will also be incorporating historical fun facts in later editions of this newsletter. Our goal is to engage Torrance residents, especially youth, in activities and events organized by the Centennial Committee. Read more...
