ABOUT LOS ANGELES
los Angeles began as a farming community, a Spanish pueblo on the west bank of the Los Angeles River. Ceremonies founding the
village 01 just over 40 settlers look place on September 4, 1781 , and were part of Ihe Spanish plans for the colonization of California.
Don Felipe de Neve, California's Spanish Governor, joined Father Junipero Serra in founding Ihe pueblo for Ihe King of Spain. They
gave it Ihe name EI Pueblo de Nueslra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula (lhe City of Our lady the Queen of Ihe Angels of
Porciuncula). Over lime, Ihe area became known as the eiudad de Los Aflgeles, City of Angels.
By April 4, 1850, when the City of Los Angeles was incorporated, it had grown to a population of over 1,600 people, and an area of 28
square miles. There were no sidewalks, no streetlights, and no graded slreets.
Today, the City of Los Angeles encompasses 469 square miles and, with a population of more than 3.6 million people, it Is the second
largest City in the nation. The City's boundaries extend from Sylmar on the north to San Pedro on the south, and from Pacific Palisades
to EI Sereno.
THE CITY SEAL
The lion of Leon and ttle casUe of Castile are from the Arms of
Spain and represent Los Angeles under Spanish control, from 1542
to 1821 . The eagle holding a serpent is from the Arms of Mexico
and represents the period of Mexican sovereignty from 1822 to
1846. The Bear Flag typifies the California Republic of 1846. The
Stars and Stripes indicate the present status of Los Angeles as an
American city. The sprays of Olives, Grapes & Oranges suggest
the City's garden location. The beaded circle surrounding the shield
represents a Rosary, suggesting the part played by the Mission
Padres in founding the City.
THE CITY FLAG
The original nag of the City of Los Angeles, known as the Fiesta Flag,
was designed in 1931 for Ihe City's 1501h birthday. The banner has
a taffeta background of notched stripes of green (for olive trees),
yellow (for orange groves) and red (for the vineyards). The colors of
the flag are also found In the flags of Spain and Mexico, whose past
is very important in the early history of los Angeles. A replica of the
City Seal is shown in the center of the banner. DeSigned by Roy
E. Silent and E.S. Jones of Los Angeles, the flag was presented to
Mayor Frank E. Shaw by Isadore B. Dockweller, President of the
La Fiesta Association,
Visitors 10 Ihe 3rd noor of Los Angeles City Hall may view a City
Flag on display which has the inscription: ~This flag was flown
aboard Ihe Space Shuttle 'Challenger' which carried the first crew
of 7 astronauts Into space Oct. 5 - 13. 1984.~ The inscription is
signed by Or.Sally Ride, Mission Specialist. A native of Encino,
she became the first American woman in space in 1983 on the
shuttle Challenger, made a second Challenger space fligh t in 1984,
and was preparing for her third mission when the Challenger was
destroyed in a tragic explosion in 1986.
