The city of Los Angeles
was founded in 1781 by Felipe de Neve, a Spanish governor. In 1821,
after declaring independence from Spain, the city became a part of
Mexico. Following the Mexican-American War, in 1848 the city became a
part of the United States. Two years later, the city was incorporated.
Experiencing frequent booms in population, it has grown to be the second
largest city in the United States. This beautiful map provides a look
back to the early days of the city. Complete reference list below.

reflected in the original map at the time it was collected for

charm of the vintage original. Some major imperfections, such as dark
fold lines have been removed when possible. Maps are printed as ordered
and are not returnable unless received damaged. |
