Los Angeles: A General Survey
&&&&&^^^
The Contemporary Scene
E5 ANGELES, the metropolis of southern California and of a
vast adjoining area, is frequently regarded as one of the newer
American cities, as an outgrowth of the motion-picture industry
and as a creation of the real estate promoter. Actually, however, it
is almost as old as the nation itself, having been formally founded and
"subdivided" in the year the Revolutionary War ended more than
half a century before Chicago was incorporated. Over Los Angeles
have waved the banners of royal Spain, imperial and republican Mexico,
of the Bear Flag Republic, and, since 1847, the stars and stripes of the
United States.
That the city seems perennially young and new despite its long,
picturesque history is not surprising, for the bulk of its population is
new. Only a handful of the inhabitants are descended from pioneer
Mexican and American families. Only a small number of adult
Angelenos were born in the city. The majority of the inhabitants
have come here in recent years, mostly from the Middle West. Since
