LA County's industrial city — home to a few residents and a couple of community parks amid the factories.
About Vernon
Vernon is famously LA's most industrial city, with a tiny residential population and a landscape of factories and warehouses south of Downtown. Its free public spaces are limited, but recreation grounds at its edges and the parks of neighboring South LA are within reach.
More a hub of industry than a destination, Vernon is best known for its history and its place in the region's economy.
