DID YOU KNOW? When the first Spanish expedition under Gaspar de Portola arrived, the land was dotted with Indian settlements, meandering rivers, and creeks, along with clusters of Cottonwood Trees. Considering Los Alamitos means “Little Cottonwoods” in Spanish, it was from this first vision that the City of Los Alamitos received its name.
