Los Angeles, the City of Angels, is the largest city in California and the second most populous city in the US.
The city was founded in 1781 by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula (The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula). It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following independence from Spain and then a part of the United States in 1848 at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. It was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850—five months before California achieved statehood.
Los Angeles is one of the world's centers of culture, technology, and international trade, and is home to world-renowned institutions in a broad range of professional and cultural fields. The city and its immediate vicinity lead the world in producing popular entertainment—such as motion picture, television, and recorded music—which forms the base of Los Angeles' international fame and global status. |

 Things to do and see while you’re in Los Angeles:
 |
Be Active
Charge a prime set with your surfboard at the ready, take a leisurely bike ride around town on a single-gear cruiser, or hike around or golf a round at Griffith Park, the largest municipal park in the country. LA has more than enough activities to suit any interest.

 |
Be a Star
Broadway shows, outer space exhibits and Roman antiquities – oh my! These are just a fraction of the myriad attractions LA offers. Whale watching on the Pacific, thrill riding at Universal Studios Hollywood, sitting in on a live TV show taping, reveling in the beauty of famous gardens or the luxury of soothing spas, wine-tasting – it’s all here in LA. |
 |
Be Artistic
LA’s artistic scene shines bright on canvas and on stage. World-class art museums in Downtown, and edgy galleries in NoHo (North Hollywood), Chinatown and San Pedro, make LA a center for the best and newest in all mediums. Live performances — from Broadway shows and concerts at the Music Center to polished ethnic dance companies and avant-garde productions at LA’s dozens of independent theaters — offer much to applaud. |
