Artesia, Residential city in Los Angeles County, United States
Artesia is a residential city in southeast Los Angeles County spanning roughly 1.6 square miles (4.1 square kilometers). The community blends residential neighborhoods with commercial districts and retains irrigation systems that reflect its agricultural past.
The town was named in 1875 after artesian wells discovered in the area that brought water to the surface naturally. These water sources enabled the agricultural growth that shaped early settlement in the region.
Pioneer Boulevard houses a concentration of Indian shops and restaurants that serve as a gathering place for the community. The street reflects how people from different backgrounds have made this city their home.
The city is accessible year-round with typical Southern California weather of dry summers and mild winters. Navigation is straightforward using main streets to explore both residential areas and the commercial heart of the community.
The East West Ice Palace, run by Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan, offers skating programs for both residents and visitors. This facility connects the community to elite competitive ice sports.
