History

The bulk of the area closer to Pueblo de Los Angeles-Downtown Los Angeles was part of the original Spanish and Mexican land grants of Rancho San Rafael and Rancho San Pascual when the city incorporated in 1850. One of the first annexations of the city was the city of Highland Park in 1895. Other cities in Northeast Los Angeles were soon annexed to the city: Garvanza (1899), Arroyo Seco (1912) and Eagle Rock (1923). Its development was served by the Los Angeles Railway "Yellow Cars."
