Synopsis

Here with a new preface, a new foreword, and an updated bibliography is the definitive history of Los Angeles from its beginnings as an agricultural village of fewer than 2,000 people to its emergence as a metropolis of more than 2 million in 1930 - a city whose distinctive structure, character, and culture foreshadowed much of the development of urban America after World War II.

Media Reviews
An excellent addition to the small but growing shelf of serious urban historical studies. . . . Fogelson's scholarly work at last makes it possible to place Los Angeles with some confidence in the framework of American urban history. --Sam Bass Warner, Jr., American Historical Review
