All About Los Angeles, the home of "Hollywood" and movie stars

Los Angeles in Southern California is the second biggest city in the United States by population, and the center of North America's third largest metropolitan area (behind Mexico City and New York City). As a center of international trade, business, entertainment and culture, Los Angeles is a rich economic power with worldwide importance.

It's also the city that includes the famous "Hollywood" district, with its movie, television and music corporations. The "City of Angels" is known as a very ethnically diverse metropolis, with its Spanish name – "Los Angeles" means "The Angels" – and its history as a part of nearby Mexico from 1821 to 1848. Some residents call themselves "Angelenos". Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by the Spanish, was a Mexican holding after Mexico's War of Independence, and was finally sold to the United States in 1848. California became a state two years later. Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics.
