These families had traveled by wagon train south from <a href="/wiki/Stockton,_California" title="Stockton, California">Stockton, California</a>, in search of ways to earn a living other than the rapid exhaustion of gold fields. Originally named Gibsonville, after one of the tract owners, it was later called Comptonville. However, to avoid confusion with the <a href="/wiki/Camptonville,_California" title="Camptonville, California">Camptonville</a> located in <a href="/wiki/Yuba_County,_California" title="Yuba County, California">Yuba County</a>, the name was shortened to Compton.<sup id="cite_ref-city_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-city-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Compton's earliest settlers were faced with terrible hardships as they farmed the land in bleak weather to get by with just the barest subsistence. The weather continued to be harsh, rainy and cold, and fuel was difficult to find. To gather firewood it was necessary to travel to mountains close to <a href="/wiki/Pasadena,_California" title="Pasadena, California">Pasadena</a>. The round trip took almost a week. Many in the Compton party wanted to relocate to a friendlier climate and settle down, but as there were two general stores within traveling distance—one in the pueblo of <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>, the other in <a href="/wiki/Wilmington,_Los_Angeles,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilmington, Los Angeles, California">Wilmington</a>—they eventually decided to stay put.<sup id="cite_ref-city_9-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-city-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By 1887, the settlers realized it was time to make improvements to the local government. A series of town meetings were held to discuss incorporation of their little town. Griffith D. Compton donated his land to incorporate and create the city of Compton in 1889, but he did stipulate that a certain acreage be zoned solely for agriculture and named Richland Farms.<sup id="cite_ref-Comp_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Comp-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In January 1888, a petition supporting the incorporation of Compton was forwarded to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, who in turn forwarded the petition to the State Legislature. On May 11, 1888, the city of Compton was <a href="/wiki/Municipal_corporation" title="Municipal corporation">incorporated</a> with a population of 5000 people. The first City Council meeting was held on May 14, 1888.<sup id="cite_ref-city_9-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-city-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1890, a series of votes were held by the residents of Compton, with the aim of shedding significant portions of the city. By the end of the year, Compton was down to only eighty acres of land, with five remaining voters residing within that territory. Due to the limited number of people able to fill positions within the city government, Compton effectively ceased to exist as a functioning city. By 1906, lawyers Emmett Wilson and E.T. Sherer filed suits to nullify the 1890 elections, which in turn restored Compton to a size of 600 acres.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Compton was reborn, with elections held to fill open positions.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The ample residential lots of Richland Farms gave residents enough space to raise a family, and food to feed them, along with building a barn, and caring for livestock. The farms attracted the black families who had begun migrating from the rural South in the 1950s, and there they found their 'home away from home'. Compton could not support large-scale agricultural business, but it did give the residents the opportunity to work the land for their families.<sup id="cite_ref-Comp_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Comp-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The 1920s saw the opening of the Compton Airport.

Shortly after President Roosevelt issued <a href="/wiki/Executive_Order_9066" title="Executive Order 9066">Executive Order 9066</a> in February 1942, Compton residents of Japanese descent were forcibly removed from their homes and interned for the duration of World War II.

Compton grew quickly throughout the decade. This is partially due to its proximity to <a href="/wiki/Watts,_Los_Angeles,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Watts, Los Angeles, California">Watts</a>, where there was an established black population. The eastern side of the city was predominantly white until the 1970s. Despite being located in the middle of a major metropolitan area, thanks to the legacy of Griffith D.
