Discover Los Angeles
History
Los Angeles, known as L.A., has a rich and diverse history. Indigenous tribes first lived here. In the 16th century, Spain claimed the area. Furthermore, in 1781, the Spanish founded a small settlement called "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles," which means "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels." From there, this settlement grew into modern Los Angeles.
