Los Angeles, otherwise known as the City of Angels is sprawled between the San Bernardino Mountains and the Pacific Ocean and is one wildly creative place. Los Angeles has something for everyone from extravagant Beverly Hills, to the entertainment capital of the world, Hollywood! Home to movie stars, mansions and make-believe!
Founded in 1781 by a small group of settlers, Los Angeles has become one of the most dynamic and diverse cities in the world. Los Angeles at one point was home to only American immigrants and wealthy Mexican ranchers. Once the transcontinental railroads were completed in the 1880s the city began to grow. The main growth came shortly after World War II with the surge of the aeronautics industry.
