Welcome to Lakewood

The City of Lakewood is located in southern Los Angeles County, about 23 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The area of the city is 9.5 square miles. Lakewood’s population was estimated by the State Department of Finance to be 81,352 as of May 2019.

Lakewood is a general law city, governed under the general laws of the state of California. (Charter cities are formed on the basis of a city charter adopted by the state legislature. Today, there is very little difference between a charter city and general law city.)

Lakewood's five city council members are elected for overlapping four-year terms. The city council appoints the city manager and the city attorney. The city manager is responsible to the city council for the day-to-day management of the city’s workforce and development of the city’s budget.

The city council appoints the members of Community Safety Commission, the Planning and Environment Commission, and the Recreation and Community Services Commission. Commissioners are Lakewood residents who serve without compensation. Each commission has five members.

Lakewood's first city council, 1954.Lakewood was incorporated on April 16, 1954. The first city council members were Angelo M. Iacoboni and Gene Nebeker (elected to four-year terms) and William J. Burns, George Nye, Jr., and Robert W. Baker (elected to two-year terms).

Lakewood's first council (seated, from left): Gene Nebeker, Robert W. Baker, Angelo M. Iacoboni, George Nye, Jr. and William J. Burns.

The arrangement of the first terms of council members ensured that city council elections would occur every two years and terms would overlap.

The office of mayor in Lakewood was originally held for a two-year term. Beginning in 1976, the office of mayor changed to a one-year term.

The mayor is chosen from among the five council members. The position is mostly ceremonial, although the mayor does preside at council meetings.

All council members are elected at large. There are no council districts in Lakewood.
