Thanks for all the effort to create this view of LA development. I do feel that the picture could be better told by looking at population growth by regions, rather than incorporation of cities. The growth of LA pops up in red a few times without taking into account the annexation activity that grew it's boundaries. The Union Pacific and Santa Fe railroads, along with their efforts to found a major port is nonexistent. Port Ballona and the real estate boom of the 1880's are totally ignored?
La Habra was established as a city in 1925 and is part of Orange County, not LA County. However it’s sister city of La Habra Heights (Located North of La Habra) is part of LA County. Which is the one est. in 1978.
Excellent presentation. There's no mention of The Battle of Río San Gabriel, fought on January 8, 1847. It was a decisive action of the California campaign of the Mexican-American War that occurred at a ford of the San Gabriel River, at what are today parts of the cities of Whittier, Pico Rivera and Montebello, about ten miles south-east of downtown Los Angeles.
There is an error in the freeway development shown. The part of the Ventura Freeway between Griffith park and 101 was completed long before 1979. We drove on it frequently in the early 1960s. It was a freeway then. I remember exiting on the Riverside drive bridge.
No mention of El Ranchito, located in Whittier, also known as the Pío Pico Adobe or Pío Pico Mansion, the final home of Pío Pico, the last Governor of Alta California under Mexican rule and a pivotal figure in early California history.
The freeway system development has many errors. I watched it grow as a boy in the 1950's and was a construction surveyor on the Pomona freeway from San Gabriel Blvd to Diamond Bar between 1965 and 1967. Interstate Highway Act was 1956. Re-signing the freeways came after that.
There are some serious errors in a number of details. Two are worth mentioning. The freeway development animation is seriously out of whack. And the missions depended on the labor of "thousands of captive native American laborers"--held captive by whom? The pair of mission priests? Or the pair of Spanish soldiers at each mission? Or perhaps by both? Gimme a break!
Hi. Excelente video. Could you help me ? I would like to have a Greater Los Angeles paper urban map and a data base about this wonderful american city. I care everything about her. Her history , growing and evolution maps through the decades til present. It might be PDF ' s if you can. If you could indicate to me , please . A huge embrace. Gracias , amigos. Regards from Chile , South America.
This video led me down a 16 tab rabbit hole
😂😂😂 so true
Great minds . . . . !!
Fascinating. A masterpiece. This should be done for all major US cities. Enlightening.
They completely missed Whittier.
“The valley is not LA” … but the valley is the biggest part of LA.
The Valley is not the biggest part , it is geographically the Northern half of the City.
He L.A. River used to turn west around what is now Downtown and flow to the beach near Santa Monica/Marina del Rey.

Phenomenal and beautiful work.

I'm from La Mirada, formed in 1960, but there's no mention or showing of Whittier, much larger & older than La Mirada.
you forgot Boyle Heights !!
thats not even a city
Boyle Heights is an area of the city of Los Angeles, you forgot that it's not a city
Dope
