Originally renamed in 1902 from “La Park” to “Huntington Park” to entice Henry Huntington to extend his Pacific Electric Railway through their development, Huntington Park incorporated in 1906.  It has a population of just over 60,000 residents, the vast majority of which are Hispanic (96%) with the remaining residents being fairly evenly distributed among white, black, Asian and other groups.  It is known for their more than 31 acres of total park space, which include playgrounds, facilities, picnic areas, and other amenities. Their motto is “the city of perfect balance.” The 42nd district covers all of Huntington Park. City of Huntington Park website
