History
Pre-American era
The earliest inhabitants of what is now Inglewood are Native Americans who use natural springs in Edward Vincent Jr. Park today (known for most of its history as Centinela Park). The local historian Gladys Waddingham writes that these springs take the name of Centinela from the rising hills gradually around them and allow the breeder to keep an eye on their livestock. "(So centinelas or sentinel).
Waddingham traces Inglewood's written history back to the original settlers of Los Angeles in 1781, one of whom was the Spanish army's Jose Manuel Orchado Machado, "a 23-year-old man from Los Alamos in Sinaloa." The settlers, he wrote, were ordered by San Gabriel Mission officials "to graze their animals on the sides of Los Angeles so as not to violate Mission land." As a result, the settlers, or pobladores, drove some of their livestock to the "lush pasture near Centinela Springs," and the first construction there was carried out by one Ygnacio Avila, who received permission in 1822 to build a " cages and cottages for shepherds. "
Later, Avila built a three-room raft with a slight improvement overlooking a tributary that flows from Centinela Springs to the ocean. According to the LAOkay website, this adobe is built where a baseball field is present in the park. There is no more.
In 1834, Ygnacio Machado, one of Jose Machado's sons, built Adobe Centinela, which stands on the current 405 San Diego Freeway and is used as the headquarters of Centinela Valley Community History. Two years later, Waddingham writes, Ygnacio is given 2,220 acres (9.0 km 2 ) Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela even though this land has been claimed by Avila.
American Era
For years
Inglewood Park Cemetery, a cemetery that is widely used for the whole region, was founded in 1905,. The city has been home to the Hollywood Park Racing from 1938 to 2013, one of the premier horse racing places in the United States. Fosters Freeze, the first soft-serve ice cream chain in California, was founded by George Foster in 1946 at Inglewood. Inglewood was named the All-America City by the National Civic League in 1989 and not to mention recently in 2009 for its visible progress.
On January 12, 2016, Inglewood was selected as the home of the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League.
Ku Klux Clan
The Ku Klux Klan activity at Inglewood during the 20th century was highlighted by the 1922 arrest and trial of 37 men, most of them masked, to carry out night raids on a suspect and his family. The attack led to the shooting death of one of the perpetrators, an Inglewood police officer. The jury returned the "innocent" verdict to all the defendants who completed the trial. It was this scandal, according to the Los Angeles Times , which ultimately led to the Clan ban in California. The clan had a chapter in Inglewood until the end of October 1931.
African-American influences
"No blacks have ever lived in Inglewood," Gladys Waddingham writes, but in 1960, "they live in large numbers along its eastern border, which comes to the great displeasure of the whites living in Inglewood. in 1960, the census counted only 29 'Negroes' among the 63,390 Inglewood residents.No one black child attended the city's school.A real estate agent refused to show the house to blacks The curfew that reportedly made the blacks out of the way at night. "Inglewood is a prime target because of [previous] historical restrictions." "Fair housing and school buses were a major problem in 1964. The schools were not ready to handle racial incidents, despite whatever incident took place The adults held many community meetings that were heating up, because blacks objected to bushing like things its White. "In 1969, an organization called" Neighbor Morningside "changed its name to" Inglewood Neighbors "" in the hope of encouraging more integration. "
On February 3, 1969, Harold P. Moret became Inglewood's first black police officer (originally from Louisiana Creole Ancestry). A year later, Jimmy Lee Worsham became the second. He was followed by Barbara Harris, the first black officer, then Otis Hendricks, Melvin Lovelace and Eugene Lindsey. The 7th black officer in Inglewood's history is James T. Butts, Jr. He became the first Blackwater Traffic Controller in Inglewood, the 1st Black Lieutenant, Captain and only Black Vice Chief in Department history. The statue left Inglewood in September 1991 at the age of 38 to become the first colored person to lead the Santa Monica Police Department as Chief of Police, and the youngest ever to do so. Twenty years later, on February 1, 2011, Puntung returned to Inglewood by being elected as his fourth mayor.
On July 22, 1970, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Max F. Deutz ordered the Inglewood school to undertake desegregation in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 parents. At least since 1965, Deutz said, the Inglewood school board has been aware of the growing influx of black families to its eastern region but has done nothing about the polarization of its students to the east and east west. On August 31, he rejected an appeal by four parents who said the school board was not responsible for the separation but that blacks "choose their place of residence by voluntary choice."
The first black school principal among 18 Inglewood schools was Peter Butler at La Tijera Elementary, and in 1971, Waddingham wrote, "Stormy Racial Meetings in 1971" included allegations by "some real estate gentlemen in the overflowing Crozier Auditorium" that the Commission's Human Relations act like "Gestapo." That year, Loyd Sterling Webb, president of Inglewood Neighbors, became the first black league poster when voters elected him to the school board.
In 1972, Curtis Tucker Sr. appointed as the first black city board member. That year's composer LeRoy Hurte, an African-American, took the baton from the Inglewood Symphony Orchestra and continued to work with it for 20 years. Edward Vincent became Inglewood's first black mayor in 1983. In that decade, the white man left the city in increasing numbers, and Inglewood became the first city in California to declare Martin Luther King's birthday, Jr.. as a holiday.
Latino population rise
The 1990 census shows that Hispanics at Inglewood have increased 134 percent since 1980, the biggest jump in the South Bay. Economic factors seem to play a role where newcomers settle down, said David Heer, a professor of sociology at USC and associate director of the University Population Research Laboratory. "Housing is generally cheaper here than elsewhere... and I would say that they are receiving a warmer welcome here," said Norm Cravens, assistant city manager at Inglewood, where the Anglo population declined from nearly 21 percent in the year 1980 to 8.5 percent in 1990.
In the 2000 census, blacks comprised 47 percent of the city's population (53,060 people), and Hispanics reached 46 percent (51,829), but the Census Bureau estimated that in 2007 the percentage of blacks decreased to 41 percent (48,252) and that race Hispanics were at 52.5 percent (61,847). The white population declined from 19 percent (21.505) to 17.7 percent (20.853).
But that year, only one of the five City Council members in the city was Latino, Jose Fernandez. There is no Latino in the five members of the Board of Education.

School history
In 1888, the school district was organized, the guardians were chosen and a building was chosen. The school opened on May 21 of that year on the second floor of a livery booth on Grevillea Avenue between Regent Street and Orchard (now Florence Avenue), with 17 boys and 16 girls. The first teacher was Minnie Walker, a graduate of the Los Angeles State High School. The school room, named Bucephalus Hall, after the horse of the founder of the city of Daniel Freeman, was also used for community gatherings.
Meanwhile, a permanent school building was set up on Grevillea Avenue, a block to the south, between the Bupati and the Queen. It remained only Inglewood school until 1911. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1920.
District High School Union Valley Centinela held in 1904 to bring secondary education to the city. Inglewood High opened in a two-room schoolhouse with 15 students taught by Nina Martin, principal, and Anna McClelland. Four years later, a new building rose above 9.5 hectares (3.8 acres) of land, and the first graduation of one man and four women occurred in 1908. Until 1912 there was a new headmaster every year at the grammar school , but on May 8 of that year George W. Crozier was named principal, and he held the post for 20 years. The school was renamed in his honor in 1932. In 1913, George M. Green was appointed head of the Inglewood Union High School; he retired from that position in 1939.
In 1914, voters approved the bonds for the improvement of secondary schools. Four more buildings and power plants were set up, "joining the streets and arcades." These improvements include a "five-room flat model in the House Economy House." Nine acres of land was purchased at Kelso Avenue and Damask (now Inglewood Avenue) for an experimental agricultural statement, later known as "The Farm." There are gardens, orchards, and alfalfa fields. In 1915, Inglewood High won the first prize in Los Angeles County over the ivy-covered brick buildings. These buildings were destroyed in 1953 to make room for the new.
In the mid-1920s, the middle school district stretched all the way south to El Segundo, so two female teachers were asked to live in El Segundo and ride school buses with the students daily to and from the city - for an extra dollar a day in pay. In 1923 the girls adopted a school uniform, "dark blue skirt with white middy."
In 1925 a new high school art building was set up in the southwest corner of Grevillea and Manchester, replacing Truax Candy Kitchen, but was badly damaged by the Long Beach earthquake of 1933. "It was rebuilt with the help of the WPA but lost a magnificent ladder and all its fireplaces. "The temporary classroom was built on Olive Street," too cold in winter and too hot all the time. "
The athletic field on the west side of the campus, later called Badenoch Field, is used for physical education and sporting events. In 1937, the agricultural classes ended up at the Farm and Sentinel Field dedicated there for sports activities. In 1938 there were more than 3,000 students and 141 teachers in high school.
The "shocking news" of 1948 was the dismissal "of all administrative staff at Inglewood High School, beginning with Principal James R. Haines." He was replaced by Forrest Murdoch of Everett, Washington, as inspector and Fred Heisner as principal.
In 1952, another Inglewood secondary school campus opened in Lockhaven's east side as the Morningside High School. The Center Park School of Los Angeles became part of the Inglewood School District in 1961 when its territory (Crenshaw-Imperial) was annexed to the city. In the 1970s, his name was changed to Worthington School in honor of Frances and William Worthington.

The first church service was held on April 22, 1888, at the Inglewood House hotel on Commercial Street (today La Brea Avenue), popularly called Mrs. Belden's Boarding House, when Inglewood had only 300 residents and 112 registered voters. Then the service was at Bucephalus Hall, but eventually the trial moved to Hyde Park, leaving Inglewood without a church. On January 19, 1890, Inglewood's first permanent church - Presbyterian - was founded on Market Street. Not long after [United] Brethren built a building on South Market Street.
In 1907, a group of Episcopalians began to serve in a private home, and a few years later the first Catholic service was held at Bank Hall. In 1910, Presbyterians moved two of their buildings, a sanctuary and a mane, to the corner of Grevillea and Nutwood "because the street market tram is so noisy and throws so much dust and sand fleas in the window."
In 1923, St. Catholic Church John Chrysostom was founded. The current church at the intersection of Centinela and Florence was built in 1959 and is the highest point in the city. It is the largest congregation in the city, consisting of nearly 10,000 registered families. Next is St. John Chrysostom, educating children since 1927 from Pre-K to grade 8.
In 1940, the Methodists had built a structure in Manchester and La Brea, but that year they moved into a new building in Kelso and Spruce.
