Los Angeles Community Information

Los Angeles is a city of southern California on the Pacific Ocean in a widespread metropolitan area. Founded by the Spanish in 1781, it served several times as a colonial capital before incorporation in 1850. Well into the 1870s Los Angeles retained strong elements of its Hispanic past and a modest economy rooted in cattle raising and viticulture. Its real growth began after the coming of the railroads in the 1870s and 1880s and the discovery of oil in the 1890s. Despite the cities persistent problems of population, air pollution, and water supply, Los Angeles still remains a city of opportunity for many people. The city has become a key gateway for immigrants entering the United States since the 1960's. Playing an important part of the economy is the high-technology manufacturing. The low-tech industries have grown also by taking advantage of the city's deep pool of immigrant labor. The entertainment and tourism industries also remain important employers in the region. Los Angeles is in a strategic location that has made it a major financial and commercial nexus for the west coast economy. Los Angeles is also home to some of the largest ports in the world.
