The Compton Community College District (CCCD) was established in 1927 as a component of the Compton Union High School District.

Compton College was officially named the 114th California Community College through unanimous vote by the Board of Governors in July 2017. On August 29, 2018, California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Oakley issued Executive Order 2018-01 declaring Compton College will operate as an independent college under the authority of the Compton Community College District (CCCD) Board of Trustees effective June 7, 2019.
