Dominguez High School is named after Don Manuel Domínguez, a California rancher. Domínguez inherited from his father José Cristobal Domínguez over 75,000 acres which was originally granted to his father's uncle Juan José Domínguez by the King of Spain in 1784. The land holding covered an area that ran from Redondo Beach into the west, to Compton in the east and the harbor in the south. The rancho spread across a territory that comprises neighborhoods that are now Compton, Gardena, Carson, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes Estates, Lomita, Rolling Hills Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Wilmington, Harbor City, and part of Long Beach.
