The Artesia Freeway is a freeway in southeastern Los Angeles County and northwestern Orange County, California. It is signed as California State Route 91 for its entire length. It runs east-west from its western terminus at the Long Beach Freeway in northern Long Beach to its eastern terminus at the Santa Ana Freeway in far southwestern Fullerton. (CA-91 continues west of the Long Beach Freeway as the Gardena Freeway, and east of the Santa Ana Freeway as the Riverside Freeway.) The Artesia Freeway name originally was assigned to the entire length of CA-91 west of the Santa Ana Freeway in the early 1970s since it was, in sense, the freeway realignment of CA-91 from the paralleling Artesia Boulevard.
