About Santa Fe Springs

History

Santa Fe Springs (Santa Fe, Spanish for "Holy Faith") is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is one of the Gateway Cities of southeast Los Angeles County.

Junípero Serra started some missions in this area, especially the San Gabriel mission. By 1806, the natives, first called Gabrieleños and then Sejats, were forced into labor to build the mission. Corporal José Manuel Nieto, then 65 years old, petitioned Pedro Fages as the Governor for a small piece of land.

Santa Fe Springs is home to Egge Machine Company, supplier of Cadillac engine parts for custom cars and hot rods.
