Nicknamed the “City of Angels,” Los Angeles is one of the most well-known cities on Earth. The city sits on the southern California coast and is known for its glitz and glamour of Hollywood. The city was first inhabited by Native Americans and then by the Mexicans, who called the city El Pueblo de Nuestro Los Angeles (The Town of Our Angels). Its ideal weather transformed this desert area into the capital of entertainment that we know and recognize today.
