Founded as the Frank Wiggins Trade School in 1925, the college is the oldest of the nine campuses of the Los Angeles Community College District.

After World War II, the school moved to the former campus of John H. Francis Polytechnic High School, which had relocated to Sun Valley. It then expanded the campus and combined with Metropolitan College to expand its programs.

In 1954, the school was renamed Los Angeles Trade–Technical Junior College. In 1969, the college became a part of the Los Angeles Community College District.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
