City of Cudahy

Located in Southeast Los Angeles, the City of Cudahy is a vibrant, fast-growing community with deep cultural roots and a strong focus on connection and service. Home to about 23,000 residents, Cudahy offers a rare opportunity to make a visible, meaningful impact.  With big-city proximity but the heart of a small town, Cudahy combines access to the energy of Los Angeles with the close-knit feel of a community.

Though small in size, Cudahy is big on collaboration and innovation. As a contract city, Cudahy operates with a streamlined model that leverages key partnerships with outside agencies and providers to deliver essential services such as law enforcement and fire protection. This structure allows staff to focus more on strategic leadership and community-building.

Beyond City Hall, Cudahy offers a dynamic blend of urban convenience and neighborhood charm. Residents and visitors alike enjoy more than 20 acres of parkland, including the beloved Clara Street Park and Lugo Park, which serve as hubs for recreation, fitness and family-friendly events. Year-round community celebrations, from cultural festivals to movie nights in the park, bring people together and reflect the rich diversity and spirit of the City.
