Founded by Spanish settlers in 1781, Los Angeles grew slowly until the arrival of the railroad in the 1870s and 1880s, followed by a population boom fueled by oil discoveries and favorable weather for early filmmaking.
The nearby district of Hollywood became synonymous with the American film industry starting in the early 20th century, and Los Angeles remains the global center for film, television, and music production.
The city hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984, and is scheduled to host again in 2028, reflecting its ongoing prominence as a major global cultural and economic center.
