The Islamic Center of South Bay – LA (ICSB), also known as Masjid Al-Noor, was established in October of 1982 by a group of families living in the South Bay area of Southern California. Prayers and initial programs were conducted at the Courtyard Mall Community Room in Rolling Hills Estates. As attendance increased, the center moved to the Torrance YMCA, and then to the Hermosa Beach Community Center. In 1985, within three years of forming, a permanent location was acquired at 25816 Walnut Street, Lomita, California, and remains the current location of ICSB..
