The 2nd largest city in the United States, Los Angeles is both an easy city to label and a hard one to quantify. While mostly known for the entertainment it produces, Los Angeles has a rich and diverse history. The sprawling metropolis is home to over 18 million residents and its neighborhoods showcase its rich ethnic history.

Founded in 1781 as a Spanish territory, Los Angeles, along with the state of California, didn’t become a part of the United States until 1848. It’s Spanish American history is felt throughout the city, from the food to the architecture.
