Japanese Memorial Terminal Island
Prior to World War II, the fishing village in Terminal Island was home to many Japanese who made the South Bay their home. The village was thriving with culture, business, and social life. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese residents were rounded up and shipped to internment camps throughout the American West. They left behind their homes, businesses, many of their possessions, and opportunities for a better life. The village was then destroyed along with all buildings, and most memories of that it existed.

Japanese Memorial Terminal Island
Decades later, a monument was put up to pay tribute to the families, fishermen, and residents who lived there. While the “Old Village” is gone, the statue and the Shinto Shrine that stand there today show the spirit of this Japanese community that once lived and worked in the South Bay.
