The area was historically inhabited by the Shoshonean Indian tribe. The very first European settlers, the Spanish, arrived in the 1760s, settled here, and founded missions. The El Camino Real crossed the area, and helped the missions to prosper. In 1784, the Spanish land grant to Manuel Nieto included the current location of Norwalk. When ranching and mining waned after the Mexican-American War, 1848, parts of the land in the area were sold as smaller parcels. After California’s inclusion in the Union, two brothers, named Sproul, of Oregon bought 463 acres in 1869. The Anaheim Branch Railroad passed through the passenger stop known as North-walk in 1873, and potential residents soon arrived. By 1890, Norwalk became a prosperous town, with fine homes, orchards, many farms and dairies. The 1950s saw a rise in the Hispanic population, and a shift towards a more residential community, and the 1990s brought a significant Asian influx. In recent times, Norwalk has been awarded the League of California Cities Helen Putnam Awards of Excellence, six times. With award winning facilities in the sectors of Community Services, Children, Youth & Families, and Public Safety, and a Distinguished Elementary School, Norwalk is a good place to live, and promises to be so for a long time to come.
