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.
The following text is
included on the map:
Explanatory.
Finding it
impossible to properly illustrate the whole City, as seen from on
direction, I found it necessary to make the view in two sections. The
UPPER VIEW shows the City as seen from the Electric Power House, corner
of Wilder St. and Central Ave. looking North. This section shows the
business portion and is the main view. The LOWER VIEW shows all that
part of the City not shown in the main view.
Electric Railways
are indicated by the letter "E" at frequent intervals. Cable Roads by
"C" and Horse Railways by "H".
Where names of streets could not
be inserted, some sign as Δ , +, or O is placed in street and the sign
and name are written in some open space near by.
