Carson: Refineries, the Dignity Health Sports Park, and South Bay Industry
Carson lies in the South Bay of Los Angeles County, incorporated in 1968 on land that had been part of the Rancho San Pedro Spanish land grant. The city was named for George Henry Carson, whose wife inherited a portion of the rancho. Before incorporation, the area resisted annexation attempts from both Los Angeles and Compton, ultimately choosing self-government when industrial development accelerated along the 110 and 405 freeways.
Oil refining defines much of Carson's economic base. The Marathon Los Angeles Refinery, formerly operated by Tesoro and before that BP, processes hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude per day and ranks among the largest refineries on the West Coast. Phillips 66 operates another major refinery adjacent to the city. These facilities, combined with port-related logistics operations supporting the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, make Carson a significant node in the regional industrial economy.
Dignity Health Sports Park, home of the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer, sits on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills. The stadium has hosted international soccer matches, concerts, and boxing events, and the surrounding tennis and track facilities form one of the largest amateur sports complexes in the western United States. CSU Dominguez Hills enrolls roughly 18,000 students and emphasizes access for first-generation college students.
The StubHub Center name came off the stadium in 2018 when Dignity Health acquired naming rights. Before that, the facility opened in 2003 as the Home Depot Center and hosted the 2003 and 2004 MLS Cup finals. The venue now hosts the LA Galaxy, Chivas USA before its 2015 dissolution, and various USA Rugby and international soccer friendlies.
