Previously in Hawthorne:
Mattel (formerly), toy manufacturer; originally started in Hawthorne in 1945 and moved to their current facility in nearby El Segundo, California by 1991.[28]
Hawthorne Plaza, a regional shopping center, now closed
The Boring Company, infrastructure and tunnel construction services company.
Northrop Corporation, founded in 1939 and headquartered in Hawthorne, became a major manufacturer of aircraft during World War II, as well as a major subcontractor to other aircraft companies. Jack Northrop developed his famous flying wings, which ultimately led to the B-2 stealth bomber. Northrop also produced the P-61 Black Widow fighter in its Hawthorne plant, which was on the south side of Northrop Field (present-day Hawthorne Airport). The facility was, for some time, used as an aircraft plant, producing fuselage sections for Boeing 747s and 787s.[29] The building is currently used as the headquarters and main factory of SpaceX.[30]
Home of the Beach Boys too. Of course their childhood home now is an 8 lane freeway.
HOORAY Elon!
