| About Norwalk
- Norwalk is a city located in Los Angeles County, California.
As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population
of 103,298.
The City of Norwalk was incorporated in 1957. It is
located 17 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
Like much of Southern California, Norwalk went from
a predominantly agricultural area at the end of World
War II to a well-developed suburb of Los Angeles. Due
to an influx of immigration from Mexico and other nations,
the diversity of the city has increased. In the 1990s,
Norwalk also gained significant Asian-American and Indian
populations, largely in the form of families priced
out of wealthy neighboring Cerritos and Orange County.
Norwalk operates under a Council/Manager form of government,
established by the Charter of the City of Norwalk which
was drafted in 1957. The five-member City Council acts
as the City's chief policy-making body. Every two years,
Councilmembers are elected by the citizens of Norwalk
to serve four-year, overlapping terms. Councilmembers
are not limited to the number of terms they may serve.
The Mayor is selected by the Council and serves a one-year
term.
