There have been many ‘histories’ written about Los Angeles County over the last 250 years that have much truth in them. But far too many have been invented by publicists, especially those working for “Hollywood,” and also those working for land owners, real estate businesses and of course by municipal and state politicians during the 1930s and especially after World War II.
Today we live in the time in human history where life has and is being well documented. It seems a great shame not to try and tell an honest story.
Without knowing the past it is almost impossible to know the present and is clearly bad news for the future. History reveals good and bad, but all worth knowing.
The aim of this site is to educate myself in researching it, and ourselves in sharing it!
