After the end of the Depression and World War II, increasing suburban development occurred in Willowbrook, but not to the extent that it substantially altered the area’s rural character. Even the 1965, the Watts Riots did not change that, although Willowbrook suffered damage to a number of its buildings, including Willowbrook’s community library. Present-day Willowbrook appears similar to other communities in the South Central section of Los Angeles.
