The Community and City Government
Cudahy is in the Gateway Cities region of southern Los Angeles County. This region is known for its industrial and manufacturing business sectors. Incorporated in 1960, Cudahy has a land area of just 1.18 square miles, making it the second smallest city in the county by land size. However, Cudahy has one of the highest population densities of any city throughout the United States with approximately 24,000 residents. The I-710 freeway provides easy access to downtown Los Angeles, coastal communities, and Orange County.
As a general law city, Cudahy City operates under the council-manager form of government with a five-member City Council.

In addition, there is an expectation of expanding an already established cannabis production industry.
