Carson, California. Almost 200 years after the founding of Rancho San Pedro, the community to the west of the Los Angeles River, finally took a long overdue step toward independence.

After decades of being an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County, the citizens went to the polls on Tuesday, February 6, 1968 to vote on whether to officially incorporate their community as an independent city. Almost 10,000 of the 17,351 registered voters in Carson cast a vote that morning. When the ballots were counted, the vote was much in favor of incorporation and with that the city of Carson was born. It would end up becoming the 8th largest city in the County of Los Angeles.
