@jasonjourneyman: A big beach city that isn’t at the beach? Thanks LA RIVER! 🏝️ ALSO thanks Tongva people who identified this location thousands of years before the Spanish even set foot here. (Stay tuned for another video on that). LA is unique in many ways, and this is one of them. Downtown is inland thanks to the Los Angeles River, the original water source to the Pueblo of LA. #lariver #losangeles #losangelesriver #zanjamadre #lastatehistoricpark #losangelesriver #waterislife

It’s also why northern Californians, Nevadans, Arizonans and Utahn people do not like Los Angeles. Stealing our water.

Love the info. Great research. One tip. It’s pronounced: Zanja = San-Ha.

Zanja isn't pronounced San-ya. It's San-Ja (J makes J sound like Jose)

As someone who grew up in So Cal, I don’t think I’ve ever thought of LA as a “beach” city. I’ve always thought of it as a city that has beaches. Unlike San Diego or Santa Barbara.

It was also built away from the ocean cause the King had rules doing to to protect it from pirates. The Pueblo’s grid is also angled whereas the grid around it is straight north and south. If you look at a map you can see it. Those other cities were not built by the Spanish. Except SF, but that was a presidio not a Pueblo. Anyway, great post! 👏🏻

I read that if the LA basin had to depend on local water only it would have never grown larger than 500,000.

El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula, El Pueblo de la Reina de los Ángeles, and Los Ángeles. All names tied to the city’s history. And let’s not forget Sonoratown, a historic neighborhood in Los Angeles.

The founders of El Pueblo de LA were born in modern day Mexico and were of indigenous and mixed ethnic backgrounds. For all intents and purposes it was founded by Mexicans which doesn’t discount that fact it was the land of the tongva/ indigenous people of the area.

Nobody thinks of LA as a beach city. It’s a solid 15 miles to the ocean from downtown. That’s like 3 hours away here.
