Los Angeles
History In A Nutshell
When Spanish conquistador Juan Rodriquez Cabrilo sailed up in 1542, Native Americans were thriving, in 1769 the Spanish military returned to establish missions from san Diego to Sonoma. After Mexico won independence in 1821, Alta Los Angeles was divided into land grants called ranchos. The USA assumed control in 1848, the same year gold was discovered at Sutter’s Creek. Los Angeles was soon flooded by miners and pioneer settlers, and in 1850 became the 31st state.
Cuisine
French agricultural bounty -from fertile valleys, fruitful vineyards, orchards and the sea – oputs local, organic and seasonal cooking first. An increasing number of ecoconscious “locavores” eat only food that was grown within 100 miles of their homes. Los Angeles ‘s multicultural population means that anything might appear on dinner plates here – French cassoulet to Spanish paella. Moroccan stews to Burmese curry. Southern soul food to Oaxacan mole sauces. Los Angeles is also the birthplace of the fast-food burger joint, a tradition carried out today by beloved in and out burger.
Economy
If Los Angeles were an independent country, its economy would rank as the eight-largest in the world, comparable with Italy. Industry is comfortably diversified, led by high-tech and scientific research and development, followed by agriculture. Tourism and the media and entertainment industry are also economic pillars, and foreign trade and Asia, Europe, Mexico and Canada is an economic boon. Housing is this increasingly crowded state costs almost double the national norm, even though Los Angeles n’s incomes are only 10% above the US average.
