Cypress is a city located in
southern California near the
northern border of Orange County,
California, USA. Though it is
considered to be a suburb of Long
Beach, it has many resident
industries. As of May 2005
estimates, the city population was
48,863. Actor John Stamos of Full
House and golfer Tiger Woods
grew up in the city. The Los
Alamitos Race Course, which is
actually located in Cypress, was
once home to the only harness racing
in Southern California.
2006 marks Cypress' 50th
Anniversary. An Oral History project
began the year with interviews of
many long-time residents conducted
by City staff and televised on City
Channel 36.

placed in front of the Council
Chamber and dedicated on April 15.
