Get to Know
LOS ANGELES!
Los Angeles, California, known internationally as the City of Angels, is one of the world's most interesting and diverse places. Tongva inhabited the land before the Spanish colonizers arrived, and since then it has grown to become America's second largest city, with industries like aerospace, oil exploration, and entertainment. Explore the history of the city via its most important resource: its people and find out what the immigrants from Mexico, Ireland, China, Iran, Russia, Armenia, as well as relocating Americans, did to build its industries, its famous attractions, and the communities and city of which Angelenos rightly feel fiercely proud.
