CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION..
 Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United
States in terms of population and one of the largest in
terms of area. It is the center of a five-county
metropolitan area and is considered the prototype of the
future metropolis—a city on the cutting edge of all of the
advantages and the problems of large urban areas. The
glamour of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the Sunset Strip,
and the famous beaches have added to Los Angeles's
reputation as a California paradise and have contributed
to the area's phenomenal growth. Los Angeles is a city of
fascinating diversity, incorporating one of the largest
Hispanic populations in the United States, a major Asian
community, and sizable populations of nearly every
ethnic background in the world. Los Angeles is also a
center of international trade and banking, manufacturing,
and tourism. The city offers something for everyone in
its large conglomeration of separate and very different
districts: a sleek, ultra-modern downtown, miles of
beautiful beaches, mansions and stunning canyon homes
built with opulent luxury, and some of the world's most
glamorous shopping and dining. Beneath the glitter,
though, is a troubled, racially divided city, with
extremely high unemployment rates for young African
Americans and Latinos.
HISTORY ..
➢ The history of Los Angeles. began in 1781 when 44 settlers from New Spain
established a permanent settlement in what is now Downtown los angeles, as
instructed by Spanish Governor of las Californias, Felipede Neve , and authorized by
Viceroy Antonio María de Bucareli. After sovereignty changed from Mexico to the
United States in 1848, great changes came from the completion of the Santa Fe
railroad line from Chicago to Los Angeles in 1885. "Overlanders" flooded in, mostly
white Protestants from the Lower Midwest and South.
➢ Los Angeles had a strong economic base in farming, oil, tourism, real estate and
movies. It grew rapidly with many suburban areas inside and outside the city limits. Its
motion picture industry made the city world-famous, and World War II brought new
industry, especially high-tech aircraft construction. Politically the city was moderately
conservative, with a weak labor union sector.`
➢ Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4 , 1850 , five months before
California achieved statehood. The discovery of oil in the 1890s brought rapid growth
to the city. The city was further expanded with the completion of the los angeles
aqueduct in 1913 , which delivers water from eastern California.
