Hawthorne is a city in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, located in

southwestern Los Angeles County, California. It is part of a seventeen-city region
commonly called the South Bay. As of the 2020 US census, Hawthorne had a
population of 88,083.[6]

History[edit]
 Hawthorne was originally part of Rancho Sausal Redondo,
granted in 1837 to Antonio Ygnacio Ávila, of the prominent Ávila family of California.
Hawthorne was once part of the Rancho Sausal Redondo (Round Willow-grove
Ranch) of the 22,458-acre (91 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Los Angeles
County, California given in 1837 to Antonio Ygnacio Ávila by Juan Alvarado the
Mexican Governments Governor of Alta California.[9] Rancho Sausal
Redondo covered the area that now includes Playa Del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan
Beach, Lawndale, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Hawthorne, and Redondo Beach.[10][11]

Hawthorne was founded in 1905 as the "Hawthorne Improvement Company" by real

estate developers B.L. Harding and H.D. Lombard. Harding's daughter shared her
birthday—July 4, American Independence Day—with New England author Nathaniel
Hawthorne, and a decision was made to name the small village after him.[12]

Hawthorne was once a "whites only" settlement, commonly called a sundown town.
[13]
During the 1930s, signs warned African-Americans to be out of Hawthorne by
sundown.[14]

Geography[edit]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 6.1 square
miles (16 km2), over 99% of it land.[citation needed]

To the north of Hawthorne is the unincorporated community of Lennox and the city
of Inglewood. To the east is the unincorporated community of Athens and the city
of Gardena. To the south is the unincorporated community of El Camino Village, and
the cities of Lawndale and Redondo Beach. Manhattan Beach is at the southwest
corner of Hawthorne. To the west is the city of El Segundo, and the Los
Angeles neighborhood of Westchester is to the northwest of Hawthorne. Hawthorne
surrounds the unincorporated community of Del Aire on three sides. It also shares a
small border on the northeast along Imperial Highway with the unincorporated
community of Westmont.

The Century Freeway (Glenn Anderson Freeway, I-105) runs along the northern
boundary of Hawthorne, with the C Line light rail line running down the center of the
Century Freeway. The San Diego Freeway (I-405) runs along the western boundary
of Hawthorne. Major east–west streets in Hawthorne include Rosecrans Avenue, El
Segundo Boulevard, and Imperial Highway. Major north–south streets
include Aviation Boulevard, Inglewood Avenue, Hawthorne Boulevard, Prairie
Avenue, Crenshaw Boulevard, and Van Ness Avenue.

Hawthorne is five miles (8 km) from the Los Angeles International Airport.[15]

Hawthorne comprises ZIP codes 90250 and 90251. It is in the 310 area code, except
for a small portion of northeastern Hawthorne, which is located in the 323 area code.

Hawthorne, like the rest of the Los Angeles basin, has a Mediterranean climate:

 On average, the warmest month is August.

 The highest recorded temperature was 111 °F (44 °C) in 1961.
 On average, the coolest month is January.
 The lowest recorded temperature was 15 °F (−9 °C) in 1963.
 Most rainfall occurs during winter and spring.
Hawthorne has a Mediterranean climate or dry-summer subtropical (Köppen climate
classification Csb on the coast, Csa inland), enjoying plenty of sunshine throughout
the year, with an average of 263 sunshine days and only 35 days with measurable
precipitation annually.[16]

The period of April through November is warm to hot and dry with average high
temperatures of 71–79 °F (22–26 °C) and lows of 50–62 °F (10–17 °C). Due to the
moderating effect of the ocean, temperatures are cooler than more inland areas of
Los Angeles, where temperatures frequently exceed 90 °F (32 °C) and occasionally
reach 100 °F (38 °C).[citation needed]
The Los Angeles area is also subject to the phenomena typical of a microclimate. As
such, the temperatures can vary as much as 18 °F (10 °C) between inland areas and
the coast, with a temperature gradient of over one degree per mile (1.6 km) from the
coast inland. California has also a weather phenomenon called "June Gloom or May
Grey", which sometimes brings overcast or foggy skies in the morning at the coast,
but usually gives way to sunny skies by noon, during late spring and early summer.
[citation needed]

The Los Angeles region averages 15 inches (385 mm) of precipitation annually,
which mainly occurs during the winter and spring (November through April) with
generally light rain showers, but sometimes as heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. On
November 6, 1966, the first-ever documented tornado touched down within city
limits. It caused significant damage, running for about one-half mile (0.80 km), from
132nd Street and Ramona Avenue to 140th Street and Ramona Avenue. Snowfall is
extremely rare but not impossible in the city basin.[citation needed]
