Los Angeles was founded in 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve as El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula (The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of Porziuncola). It became a part of Mexico in 1821, following its independence from Spain. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican-American War, Los Angeles and California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States; Mexico retained the territory of Baja California. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. (from wikipedia)Wednesday, August 6, 2008

Los Angeles is the largest city in the state of California and the second largest in the United States. Los Angeles is a great city one of its own kind in whole world.Often abbreviated as L.A. and nicknamed The City of Angels, Los Angeles has an estimated population of 3.98 million.I visited it last time in July and was impressed with the hospitality and kindness.Every thing from Airport taxi to hotel tour guys all was good.Airport limo was fun to have in such a low price. I was amazed by the choices of transportation,like you could have a choper to go to downtown for few hundred dollars. All museums and downtown were full of fun loving people.Los Angeles is the place man,i would love to go their over and over.
