The history of Los Angeles begins about 10-20 thousand years
ago, long before the appearance on the mainland of the first
Europeans: all this time there were concentrated several villages of
Indians who were engaged in hunting and gathering. The
permanent settlement was founded on September 4, 1781 and was
named El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles di Porciuncula.
For several decades it was just a small town, but in 1820 its
population exceeded 600 people, and after thirty years received the
official status of the city. Since then, the city is developing rapidly
and today it is a huge metropolis with a multi-million population
and developed infrastructure.
