Originally called by the title El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles ("the pueblo of our lady the queen of angels"), the town was founded in the year 1781. Within the following century, the Mexicans, Spanish, and Americans successfully ruled LA. In 1821, when Mexico achieved its freedom, the Spanish rule ended, and the city came under its authority.

During the Mexican-American War in 1846, Los Angeles and the rest of California became U.S. territory, and California was considered as the thirty first state to the Usa in 1850. The major improvement of Los Angeles took place when the town was chosen as the train terminus for southern California. In 1876, the Railroad linkage with San Francisco was completed and there was a growth in the population as thousands moved to the city thanks to its temperate climate, available property, cheap transcontinental fares and pristine landscapes. The actual estate quickly marched up the price of land, but also dropped by 1887, crashing the desires of financers. But, Los Angeles continued to flower when its economy was prompted by the discovery of oil in 1892 as well as agricultural developments. The populace was about 50,000 by 1890 and doubled to 102,000 by the finish of the millennium.
In early twentieth millennium, the film industry came to Los Angeles and the first cinema was opened in 1902 and Hollywood's first film studio in 1911. In 1923, the world-famous "Hollywood" sign was raised and in 1929, the Academy Awards were inaugurated. Los Angeles grew its reputation as "Tinseltown" and gave the newcomers an opportunity to follow their desires by going west. Throughout the 1930s, the film industry continued to splurge, relieving those affected by depression, which also saw new arrivals to the city, avoiding the dust bowls of the Midwest and looking to reconstruct their lives. The desert bound LA was assured with ongoing water supply from significant facilities projects, in some cases generating lasting and harsh disputes over the rights to water channeled to the area further from north. The conclusion of the Arroyo Seco Parkway in 1940 introduced a new era of autos in La. The Arroyo Seco Parkway laid the groundwork for the dispersing mass of automobile culture along with the highways, which should become a permanent part of the city's image and lifestyle. Throughout WWII (1939 45), the growing sway of the automobile along with the defense-related manufacturing plants, helped generate the suburban growth that was supposed to change the physical landscape of LA. In 1950's development in the increase of television was considered as a menace to the movie industry but later proved to be an economic benefit as the town became the headquarters of the popular development as well as the booming recording industry, creating its standing as the amusement capital of the whole world. From the 1960s, the golden image of Los Angeles began to unravel as unchecked urban spread resulted in social and environmental issues. The smog and pollution from the autos and industries were regarded as serious dangers to the quality of life. In August 1965, the urban violence broke out in the black Watts neighborhood.
