History of Maywood

Historically a blue collar town focused around providing housing for local railway and industrial workers, Maywood has long been on the map in terms of affordable housing. The town was made famous in World War II when the 192nd Tank Battalion, which was manned by 122 men from the Maywood area, was taken capture in the Philippines and the soldiers forced on the infamous Bataan Death March in April 1942. Only 41 of these men made it back to their Maywood homes alive. The tragedy is honored every year at the Maywood Bataan Day Parade. Today, the neighborhood is mostly made of residential or commercial blocks. Opportunities for affordable apartments and housing abound.
