Tooth-people fact: South Gate's Tweedy Mile on Tweedy Boulevard is one of the longest continuously developed retail corridors in southeast Los Angeles County. The city was also home to the General Motors Fisher Body plant, which employed thousands of southeast LA residents from the 1930s through the early 1980s before the facility closed.
