Northeast Los Angeles CA Beginnings
Most of Northeast Los Angeles was part of the original Spanish grant 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 annexed soon after.
Examples include Garvanza (1899), Eagle Rock (1911) and Arroyo Seco (1912), among others. Temple Beth Israel of Highland Park and Eagle Rock opened in 1923 and is now the second oldest synagogue in Los Angeles. From the late 1950s until the 1980s, Highland Park and Eagle Rock were known as a hub for Hot Rod builders. Parts of the region increasingly became a Latino enclave in the 1960s but other groups kept the area mixed.
Unfortunately many historic homes were razed in Highland Park in the 1950s and 1960s. New residents, attracted by Northeast Los Angeles real estate prices and its ethnic mix, arrived in the early 2000s. The area has increasingly attracted hip shops and eateries.
