[edit] Description
The Harbor Gateway is a two-mile wide north-south corridor located approximately between Vermont Avenue and Figueroa Street north of I-405, and Western and Normandie avenues south of I-405. The territory was acquired by the city of Los Angeles in a shoestring annexation, to specifically connect San Pedro, Wilmington, Harbor City and the Port of Los Angeles with the rest of the city (note the vertical red line on the map above.)
Despite being part of the city of Los Angeles, some parts of Harbor Gateway have a "Torrance, CA", "Gardena, CA" or "Carson, CA" address because they are serviced by those cities' post offices.
