Commerce is a city located in Los Angeles County, California.It is bordered by Vernon on the west, Los Angeles on the northwest, East Los Angeles on the north, Montebello on the east, Downey and Bell Gardens on the south, and Maywood on the southwest.
Commerce residents have an enviable array of civic services funded from taxes on the local card club and the Citadel. This includes four libraries, a senior center, a teen center, and a city-owned camp located in the San Bernardino National Forest. Commerce is also one of the few cities in California that is able to provide its residents with free bus service. As might be expected, residential turnover is low compared to surrounding cities, although Commerce has moved from an almost exclusively Anglo city at its inception to one that is now overwhelmingly Latino.
