California is perhaps the most unique state in the USA.It leads the country in manufacturing and farming. Its area is the 3rd in thecountry and it has the largest population, of which the white people constituteless than 50%. It is the most popular place to spend vacations — hiking inNational parks, swimming in the Pacific Ocean and sightseeing in the cities.Such well-known places as Hollywood Disneyland, Death Valley, and the San DiegoZoo are located in California. First European settlements in Californiawere Spanish, and in 1821, when Mexico became independent, it became its part.In 1848 the United States took control over this state. And on September 9,1850, it became the 31 state of the USA.

1.2.The History of Los Angeles County.

WhenSpanish occupation of California began in 1769, an exploratory expedition ofmore than 60 persons led by Gaspar de Portola moved north through the area nowknown as Los Angeles. They camped by a river where fertile soil andavailability of water for irrigation impressed members of the party. FatherJuan Crespi, who accompanied the group, saw the location as having all therequirements for a large settlement. He named the river El Rio de NuestraSenora la Reyna de Los Angeles de Porciuncula, which means “TheRiver of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula.”
In September 1771 Father Junipero Serra and a group of Spaniardsfounded the San Gabriel Mission as the center of the first«community» in an area inhabited by small bands of Gabrielino Indians.

Twelve years after Portola's trek, which began in San Diego andended in Monterey, a company of settlers called «Los Pobladores» wererecruited in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa in Mexico. Their mission, underauthority of Governor Felipe de Neve, was to establish pueblos in the name ofthe king of Spain.

On September 4, 1781, the Pobladores, a group of 12 families — 46men, women and children led by Captain Rivera y Moncada — established acommunity in the area discovered by Portola, and named it El Pueblo de NuestraSenora la Reyna de Los Angeles de Porciuncula, after the nearby river. Overtime, the area became known as the Ciudad de Los Angeles, «City ofAngels,» and on April 4, 1850 became the City of Los Angeles.

California was ruled by Spain until 1822 when Mexico assumedjurisdiction. After a two-year period of hostilities with Mexico beginning in1846, the area came under U.S. control. In 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgomade California a United States territory.The County of Los Angeles wasestablished on February 18, 1850 as one of the 27 original counties, severalmonths before California was admitted to the Union. It derived its name fromthe area known as Los Angeles, already a large community, and made it thedesignated «seat» of County government.

On April1, 1850 the people of Los Angeles County asserted their newly won right ofself-government and elected a three-man Court of Sessions as their firstgoverning body. A total of 377 votes were cast in this election. In 1852 theLegislature dissolved the Court of Sessions and created a five-member Board ofSupervisors. In 1913 the citizens of Los Angeles County approved a charterrecommended by a board of freeholders which gave the County greater freedom togovern itself within the framework of state law.

Land Area 4,081.58 Square Miles Unincorporated Area 2,653.5 Square Miles Flat Land 1,741 Square Miles Mountains 1,875 Square Miles Hilly Land 246 Square Miles Islands 131 Square Miles Mountain Valleys 59 Square Miles Marsh Land 28 Square Miles

The official flag of the county of Los Angeles is blue,green and gold.The blue signifies clear skies. The greenborder is to keep Los Angeles beautiful and the gold lettering «county ofLos Angeles» stands for the land of opportunity for everyone since goldwas discovered in California.

Theseal is the official seal of the County of Los Angeles.

The flag was approved on October 17, 1967 by the Board ofSupervisors and flew for the first time in front of the County Courthouse onMarch 28, 1968.

II.Los Angeles.

2.1. Los Angeles now.

LosAngeles teems with excitement both sunup and sundown. Los Angeles is ayouthful, vibrant city, proud of her well extablished roots.

Claimed for Spain by Portuguese conquistador JuanCabrillo in 1542, the sleepy Indian village of 4000 was named ElPueblo NuestraSenora la Reina de Los Angeles – “The city of Our Lady Queen of the Angels.”

Today the “City Of Angels” hosts an assortment oflifestyles and a population of nearly three million, with over seven million inLos Angeles Country.
