Explore Los Angeles, California in an RVshare RV Rental
While Indigenous tribes originally inhabited the area as early as 8,000 B.C., more recently Los Angeles has grown into America’s second-largest city and the West Coast’s biggest economic powerhouse. By the time the year 2022 rolled around, the population of the city of Los Angeles was around 4 million, and the entire metropolitan area was home to over 12 million people.
Rich deposits of gold were discovered in the Sacramento Valley in 1848, initiating the Gold Rush. Sacramento's residents depended on the ranches and farms in the Los Angeles area for their beef and other foods. The dedication of Chinatown Central Plaza in 1938 brought a new beginning for the Chinese and American communities in Los Angeles. Today, it’s a gorgeous place to explore and eat delicious foods; plus, you can take a selfie in front of the statue of the late movie star Bruce Lee.
To immerse yourself in culture and history, visit the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles' Griffith Park. Ongoing exhibits feature the art of the West, cowboys, frontier stories, Pueblo pottery, Colt revolvers, and lots more. While in the area, visit the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, once owned by 19th century Los Angeles land baron Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin. If you time your visit just right, you’ll be able to take in the beauty of the rose garden, herb garden, tropical greenhouse, and exotic plant collection. Don't miss the Santa Anita Depot, a train station that was built at the arboretum in 1890.
