Los Angeles Communities - Name Origins |
 |
|
| (2016)* - The City of Los Angeles encompasses over 100 communities and neighborhoods, often mistaken by residents as separate cities. Each community has a unique history and etymology. The map above highlights the name origins of some of these communities that together form the diverse city of Los Angeles. Image courtesy of @etymology.nerd. Please note that the map above offers a lighthearted take on the origins of some Los Angeles community names. Historical topics often have multiple interpretations, and we aim to showcase a variety of perspectives on our website. While we believe much of the information on the map is accurate, some name origins are open to interpretation. We plan to add further clarification on this page as new information becomes available. |
