Los Angeles County, City of Lincoln Heights
| Lincoln Heights is
one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, dating to the 1880s. Perched on
bluffs above the Los Angeles River, it was originally home to some of the
city's wealthiest residents, who built a large number of Victorian mansions in
the district (many of which have been preserved under the city's historic
preservation program). North Broadway became a busy commercial strip, which it
remains today. By the turn of the 20th century, however, the rapid industrial
development along the riverbanks made it less appealing for wealthy Angelinos,
who moved on first to the Arroyo Seco area and Hollywood, then (from the 1920s
onward) to rapidly developing Mid-Wilshire. As wealthy residents departed,
Lincoln Heights became home to a large Italian American population, as well as
an increasingly large Mexican American population. It and its cross-river
neighbor "Little Italy" (what is now Chinatown) formed the heart of
southern California's Italian-American community. One of the major landmarks
from this period, the San Antonio Winery, continues to operate today, albeit
with non-local grapes. |
