Largest city in California and second largest in the United States

Los Angeles is the largest city in California, the largest city in the West of the U.S., the second largest city in the U.S. and the light capital, the beautiful scenery, the cool weather, Los Angeles is not known as the world's famous tourist destination. According to the version in Spanish, Los Angeles is "Angel City".

Los Angeles

In the past, this was an Indian breeding ground. In 1781, the Spanish colonialists built a town here. In 1822, Los Angeles was overseen by the Mexicans, and 1846 was returned to the United States. The city was only officially built in 1850.

In the middle of the 19th century, thanks to the development of the gold mine in California, the piping-Pacific Railway was launched, facilitating the city to grow. In World War 2, the U.S. was rich through arms trade, the arms and weapons industry developed greatly. In the early 20th century, with the construction of long water pipes, Los Angeles was able to solve the water supply - a serious problem, so it quickly became the largest city along the western U.S. coast.

Los Angeles is big but not focused. The area of the entire city is 1,024 square kilometers, including more than 80 surrounding cities and towns with a total area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, with a population of more than 7 million people. This focus makes tourists feel "come and go". People in cities go to work, go to school or go out, use cars. On average 1.5 people have one car, and over 80 percent of the people have their own cars. People can drive cars to church, restaurant, bookstore, supermarket, highways and paths to parking lots that account for about 30% of the city's total area. This density allows Los Angeles to bring in the nickname "the city of the car".

Overview

History of history

The coastal area of Los Angeles was populated by residents of Tongva (or Gabrieleños), Chumash, and the tribes of the Native American peoples lived for thousands of years. The first Europeans to arrive here in 1592, led by Juan Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer, announced the land to the Spanish Empire but not remains there. The next time Europeans were in contact with the area, 227 years after Gaspar de Portois, along with Franciscan Padre Juan resp Ci, arrived in the area today as Los Angeles on August 2, 1769.

In 1771, Cha Junípero Serra built the Mission San Gabriel Arcágel near Whittier Narrows near the San Gabriel Valley today. On September 4, 1781, a group of 52 settlers from New Spain were descendants of the Africans forming a delegation along the edge of the Porciúncula River (now the Los Angeles River). These settlers have their ancestors as Filipino, India and Spain, two-thirds being hybrids.

In 1777, new California governor Felipe de Neve, recommended to the viceroy of New Spain that the site be into a developed to town. The area is named El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula ("The town of the Queen of the Angels of the River Porciúncula"). It's still a small town for decades, but in 1829 the population increased about 650, making it the largest civilian community in California in Spain. Todayoutline Pueblo's is still preserved in a popular historic monument called Olvera Street, formerly the Alcohol, named after Augustin Olvera.

The new Spanish gained its independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821 and the province continued to be part of Mexico. Mexico's rule ended in the Mexican-American War, when the Americans gained control from the Californians after a series of wars. Battle of San Pascual, the Battle of Dominguez and the Battle of Rio San Gabriel in 1847. The Cahuenga Treaty was signed on January 13, 1847, ending hostile takeover in California and then the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty (1848), the Mexican government officially assigned to another Alland to California. Weird. The Europeans and the U.S. have strengthened control of the city after they migrated to California in a flooding wave to find California gold and ensure a subsequent accession to the United States in 1850.

The railroad arrived when the Southern Pacific Railway Company (Southern Pacific Railroad) completed its railroad line to Los Angeles in 1876. Oil was discovered in 1892 and in 1923, Los Angeles issued a quarter of the world oil. One factor that contributes to the development of the city is water. In 1913, William Mulholland completed the pipelines to ensure the growth of the city. In 1915, Los Angeles City began to merge dozens of community neighborhoods that were unable to water themselves. A largely fictionalized account of the Owens Valley Water War is found in the 1974 motion picture Chinatown.

In the 1920s, animated films and the aviation industry rushed to Los Angeles to help the city grow. This city is the place to run the Summer Olympics in 1932 to witness the development of the Baldwin as the original Village Stadium. This period also saw the arrival of exiles from post-conflict tensions in Europe, including aristocrats like Thomas Mann, Fritz Lang, Bertolt Brecht, Arnold Schoenberg and Lion Feuchtwanger. World War II brought new development and prosperity to this city, though many Japanese-Americans were being transported to concentration camps during the war. The post-conflict period witnessed a greater explosion when the urban spread was extended to the San Fernando Valley. The Watts riots of 1965 and the "anger" of Chicano High School and the suspension of Chicano revealed the deep racial divide that exists in this city. In 1969, Los Angeles was one of the two "places of birth" to the Internet when ARPANET was sent from UCLA to SRI in Menlo Park. XXXXIII Olympad was hosted in Los Angeles in 1984. The city was challenged through the Los Angeles riots of 1992 and the Northridge 1994 and 2002 the attempted separation of Fernando and Hollywood Valley was defeated in the vote. The redevelopment and urban elegance has taken place in many areas of the city, especially the center.

The Los Angeles area is quite plentiful in terms of local plants. With beaches, sand dunes, flooded land, hills, mountains, and rivers, this area contains a number of important living quarters.

By air

The Los Angeles metropolitan area has 16 airports. The largest airport serving Los Angeles is Los Angeles International Airport. Los Angeles International Airport (Los Angeles International Airport) (IATA: LAX, ICAO: KLAX, the Los Angeles service airport, California.

Go back

Public or car traffic?

Although the Los Angeles area has many bus lines and a number of transport agencies, and a relatively new subway and a high-speed network, that's not enough for the population and size of the area. For example, some of the best bus routes can be run every 15 or 20 minutes, while others (especially from the primary tourist areas) can run every 30 to 90 minutes. Remember, it's not a bus line to get to every corner, and so, it's not unusual for you to walk a mile or more to your destination after you get off the bus at the nearest station. And because there are a lot of bus transportation companies in Los Angeles, you may have to pay extra as you get off the bus, a transit unit and onto another company's transit bus to continue your journey. Remember, some bus lines will end up operating at the beginning of the evening, so you should have a good plan of your trip to make sure you're not stuck while you're on a trip, so having to take your expensive taxi back to your hotel - depending on how far you're away, it might cost about the same way you rented a car in the first day.

Los Angeles also has a light-sized system of subways and railways that help speed up the pace of travel around the city. If you have a plan to stay near a Metro Railway Station in some of the rural areas, this could be as much as the railroad network will take you to a number of tourist areas like Hollywood, Universal Studios, China Street, and Long Beach. However, people who plan to stay for days in the city, will stay or visit areas far from the center, and if not lose many buses during their visit, are asked to rent a car if budget allows.

For frequent travelers it is only a few miles, and is ready to plan a much longer journey, and for those who remain for just a few days, and do not pay any attention to 20 to 60 minutes waiting for a bus, it is possible to see that the Los Angeles public transportation system may be adequate. Basically, if you plan to travel in the West Side area, downtown Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood, and mainly travel days during the week, public transportation can accommodate your needs.

Metro Rapid buses arrive more often and stops less than local buses and should be used when possible. Remember that many of the cities in the subway area (including Santa Monica, Culver City, Long Beach, Santa Clarita, and Ontario go on to the names of some of their own bus organs, independent of the subway, thus charging different tickets.

If you choose to rent a car, you'll have to consider the LA-regional highway systems and the great and the flavor of a famous traffic jam. However, this will be more convenient to take buses for long or long journeys.

By rail

The sub​​-subway/rail line in Los Angeles opened its first way in the 1990s. The network replaced a system of railways known as the Pacific Railway, which operates in Los Angeles and the neighborhoods of 1902-1961. Los Angeles has opened its local training network in two. It's been good for ten years.

Populated places and tourist destinations can be reached by using subway trains, including city centers, Koreatown, Los Feliz, Hollywood, North Hollywood, Chinatown, Pasadena, and Long Beach. Public transport is an advantage, when possible, with gridlock occurring on the highway in Los Angeles and the streets.
