-LOS ANGELES TRAVEL GUIDE -

History of Los Angeles
Knowing the history of Los Angeles can make your vacation come alive. The earliest key date in the development of Los Angeles is August 2, 1769. Spanish explorers from the east, led by Junipero Serra and Captain Gaspar de Portola entered what came to be known as Los Angeles. The purpose of the expedition was to establish missions linking San Diego and San Francisco, known as "El Camino Real," or The Royal Road. Legend also has it that during their brief stay in the area, the men experienced three earthquakes. Unfazed by this, the group decided to establish a large settlement.

Los Angeles got its name from Serra who originally called the area "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula," which was obviously shortened later. Throughout the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the mission existed under the control of the Mexican government. On March 9th, 1842, Francisco Lopez discovered gold in the Santa Clarita Valley and by 1845, U.S. troops began battling for control of California. On January 9, 1847, Commodore Stockton recaptured Los Angeles for the third and final time. And just days later Mexican general Andres Pico surrendered California to U.S. General John Fremont. On April 4, 1850, the city of Los Angeles was incorporated, with California officially entering the Union five months later.

Touring Los Angeles
Los Angeles is just one of dozens of communities. There is no one unifying experience that sums up the life and the heartbeat of this city among cities. There is a city personality for everyone. LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) is the third largest airport in the United States, when it comes to the sheer number of people passing through it. The airport is the main feature of the otherwise-sleepy, suburban neighborhood of Westchester. Pick up your rental car from the airport, and the first thing you notice is that this is a city for drivers. Its a vacationer's paradise whether you're in a rental van, sedan or convertible.

As you tour West Hollywood you'll find one of the city's most famous (or infamous) attractions: the Sunset Strip. Most of the city's hottest clubs, as well as some of the city's finest shopping and hotels are located here. As you travel in your rental car you come to Beverly Hills, the world-famous city, which is synonymous with wealth, status and celebrity.
