History

See also: History of Los Angeles

Los Angeles County was one of the original counties of

California, created at the time of statehood in 1850.[6] The

county's large area included parts of what is now Kern County,

San Bernardino County, Riverside County and Orange County.

These parts of the county's territory were split to form San

Bernardino County in 1853, Kern County in 1866, and OrangeCounty in 1889. In 1893, part of San Bernardino County became

Riverside County.

Geography

According to the 2000 census, the county has a total area of 4,752.32 square miles (12,308.5 km2), of which 4,060.87

square miles (10,517.6 km2) (or 85.45%) is land and 691.45 square miles (1,790.8 km2) (or 14.55%) is water.[7] Los

Angeles County borders 70 miles (110 km) of coast on the Pacific Ocean and encompasses towering mountain ranges,

deep valleys, forests, islands, lakes, rivers, and desert. The Los Angeles River, Rio Hondo, the San Gabriel River and

the Santa Clara River flow in Los Angeles County, while the primary mountain ranges are the Santa Monica Mountains

and the San Gabriel Mountains. The western extent of the Mojave Desert begins in the Antelope Valley, in the

northeastern part of the county. Most of the population of Los Angeles County is located in the south and southwest,

with major population centers in the Los Angeles Basin, San Fernando Valley and San Gabriel Valley. Other population

centers are found in the Santa Clarita Valley, Crescenta Valley and Antelope Valley.

The county is divided west-to-east by the rugged San Gabriel Mountains, filled with coniferous forests and subject to

plentiful snowfall in the winter. The San Gabriel Mountains are part of the Transverse Ranges of southern California,

and are contained mostly within the Angeles National Forest. Most of the highest peaks in the county are located in the

San Gabriel Mountains, including Mount San Antonio (10,068 ft) at the Los Angeles-San Bernardino county lines,

Mount Baden-Powell (9,399 ft), Mount Burnham (8,997 ft), and the well-known Mount Wilson (5,710 ft) where the

Mount Wilson Observatory is located. Several smaller, lower mountains are located in the northern, western, and

southwestern parts of the county, including the San Emigdio Mountains, the southernmost part of TehachapiMountains, and the Sierra Pelona Mountains.

Roads

The county has an extensive freeway network of legendary size and complexity, which is maintained by Caltrans and

patrolled by the California Highway Patrol. It also has a vast urban and suburban street network, most of which is

maintained by city governments. The county and most cities generally do a decent job of maintaining and cleaning

streets. For more information about the primary exception, see the Transportation in Los Angeles article.

Both the freeways and streets are notorious for severe traffic congestion, and the area's freeway-to-freeway

interchanges regularly rank among the top 10 most congested points in the country.

In addition to Metro Bus service, numerous cities within the county also operate their own bus companies and shuttle

lines.

2000

As of the census[15] of 2000, there were 9,519,338

people, 3,133,774 households, and 2,137,233

families residing in the county. The population

density was 2,344 people per square mile

(905/km). There were 3,270,909 housing units at

an average density of 806 per square mile

(311/km). The racial makeup of the county is

48.7% White[16] 11.0% African American, 0.8%

Native American, 10.0% Asian, 0.3% Pacific

Islander, 23.5% from other races, and 4.9% from

two or more races. 44.6% of the population are

Hispanic or Latino of any race. The largest

European-American ancestry groups are German

(6%), Irish (5%), English (4%) and Italian (3%).

English at home; 37.9% spoke Spanish, 2.22%

Tagalog, 2.0% Chinese, 1.9% Korean, and 1.87%

Armenian. [17]

Because the county is so populous, what is not so

evident is that it has the largest Native American

population of any county in the nation: according

to the 2000 census, it has more than 153,550people of indigenous descent, and most are from

Latin America. "The invisible population that is virtually ignored by the census is that of indigenous people from

Mexico, Central and South America."[18]

Law, government and politics

Government

Main articles: Government of Los Angeles County and Government of California

The Government of Los Angeles County is defined and authorized under the California Constitution, California law

and the Charter of the County of Los Angeles.[21] Much of the Government of California is in practice the

responsibility of local governments such as the Government of Los Angeles County.

The county's voters elect a governing five-member Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The small size of the

board means each supervisor represents over 2 million people. The board operates in a legislative, executive, and

quasi-judicial capacity. As a legislative authority, it can pass ordinances for the unincorporated areas (ordinances that

affect the whole county, like posting of restaurant ratings, must be ratified by the individual city). As an executive

body, it can tell the county departments what to do, and how to do it. As a quasi-judicial body, the Board is the final

venue of appeal in the local planning process, and holds public hearings on various agenda items.

As of 2008, the Board of Supervisors oversees a $22.5 billion annual budget and approximately 100,000

employees.[22] The county government is managed on a day-to-day basis by a Chief Executive Officer, William TFujioka, and is organized into many departments, each of which is enormous in comparison to equivalent county-level

(and even state-level) departments anywhere else in the United States. Some of the larger or better-known departments

include:

Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs offers consumers in the county a variety of servicesincluding: consumer and real estate counseling, mediation,and small claims counseling. The department alsoinvestigates: consumer complains, real estate fraud andidentity theft issues.Los Angeles County Department of Children and FamilyServices administers foster careLos Angeles County Fire Department provides fireprotection, suppression, and prevention as well asemergency medical servicesLos Angeles County Department of Health Services

The Los Angeles Superior Court, has jurisdiction over all cases arising under state law, while the U.S. District Court for

the Central District of California hears all federal cases. Both are headquartered in a large cluster of government

buildings in the city's Civic Center.

Historically, the courthouses were county-owned buildings that were maintained at county expense, which created

significant friction since the trial court judges, as officials of the state government, had to lobby the county Board of

Supervisors for facility renovations and upgrades. In turn, the state judiciary successfully persuaded the state

Legislature to authorize the transfer of all courthouses to the state government in 2008 and 2009 (so that judges would

have direct control over their own courthouses). Courthouse security is still provided by the county government under

a contract with the state.

Unlike the largest city in the US, New York City, all of the city of Los Angeles and most of its important suburbs are

located within a single county. As a result, both the county superior court and the federal district court are respectively

the busiest courts of their type in the nation.[24][25]

Many celebrities like O.J. Simpson have been seen in Los Angeles courts. In 2003, the tabloid television showExtra

(based in nearby Glendale) found itself running so many reports on the legal problems of local celebrities that it spun

them off into a separate show, Celebrity Justice.

State cases are appealed to the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District, which is also headquartered in the

Civic Center, and then to the California Supreme Court, which is headquartered in San Francisco but also hears

argument in Los Angeles (again, in the Civic Center). Federal cases are appealed to the Court of Appeals for the NinthCircuit, which hears them at its branch building in Pasadena. The court of last resort for federal cases is the U.S.

Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.

Angeles Archdiocese.

Sites of interest

The county's most visited park is Griffith Park, owned by the city of Los

Angeles. The county is also known for the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, the

annual Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, the Los Angeles County Museum

of Art, the Los Angeles Zoo, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

racetracks and two car racetracks (Pomona Raceway and Irwindale

Speedway), also the RMS Queen Mary located in Long Beach, and the Long

Beach Grand Prix, and miles of beachesfrom Zuma to Cabrillo.

Venice Beach is a popular attraction where its Muscle Beach used to find

throngs of tourists admiring "hardbodies". Today it is more arts-centered. Santa

Monica's pier is a well known tourist spot, famous for its ferris wheel andbumper car rides, which were featured in the introductory segment of the

television sitcom Three's Company. Further north in Pacific Palisades one finds

the beaches used in the television seriesBaywatch. The fabled Malibu, home of

many a film or television star, lies west of it.

In the mountain, canyon, and desert areas one may find Vasquez Rocks Natural

Area Park, where many old westerns were filmed. Mount Wilson Observatory

in the San Gabriel Mountains is open for the public to view astronomical stars

from its telescope, now computer-assisted. Many county residents find

relaxation in water skiing and swimming at Castaic Lake Recreation Area the

county's largest park by area as well as enjoying natural surroundings andstarry nights at Saddleback Butte State Park in the eastern Antelope Valley

Reserve is located in the western Antelope Valley and shows off the State's
