Maywood is a gateway city in Los Angeles County.[6] At 1.18 square miles (3.1 km2),[7] Maywood is the third-smallest incorporated city in Los Angeles County by area.[8] It is bordered by the cities of Bell on the south, Vernon on the north and west, Huntington Park on the southwest, and Commerce on the east.
As of July 1, 2010, Maywood became the first municipality in California to outsource all of its city services,[9][10][11] dismantling its police department, laying off all city employees except for the city manager, city attorney and elected officials,[10] and contracting with outside agencies for the provision of all municipal services.[12] The population was 27,395 at the 2010 census.
