Established in 1994 by the City of Hanford, the Longfield Center Hall of Fame Ceremony is a biennial event. To be considered for the Hall of Fame Award, individuals must have graduated from local schools, served as role models in the community, earned accolades in academics, athletics or professional organizations, and been directly or indirectly involved with the Longfield Center. The committee that selects the honorees is made up of former inductees and city staff members.
