About Maywood

History

Maywood is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. A gateway city, at 1.18 square miles (3.1 km2) Maywood is the third-smallest incorporated city in Los Angeles County by area.

The land on which Maywood stands had been populated by Native American tribes for centuries. The area that would later become Maywood was deeded in 1781 by the Spanish monarchy to Spanish War veteran Manuel Nieto. When the settlement of Pueblo de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles was recorded, it included the cow pasture (now Maywood) that eventually turned into a rancho.

Some lemon groves are planted here. Unfortunately, similar to the surrounding area the Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) is an invasive pest of these trees. Fortunately this area is a good environment for a parasitoid which controls ACP, Tamarixia radiata.
