Rancho Dominguez is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, California, United States.
Prior to earlier partitioning, Rancho Dominguez also contained the sites of the cities of Compton, Carson and a portion of North Long Beach.
In the late 1800s most of the southern part of Rancho Dominguez and the land leading down to the Los Angeles Harbor was acquired by the railroad industry.
[3] West Rancho Dominguez shares that same ZIP code but Compton has no interest in annexing that part of unincorporated Los Angeles County due to environmental waste issues with industries and businesses in that region.
The Community of Rancho Dominguez south of Compton is a warehousing and transportation industry area that collects significant tax revenue for the County of Los Angeles.
