El Pueblo Historical Monument

El Pueblo Historical Monument El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument is the birthplace of Los Angeles and the home of world famous Olvera Street.

El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument is the birthplace of Los Angeles and the city's oldest historic district. Founded in September 1781 near a Tongva-Native American village, El Pueblo encompasses the area where forty-four settlers from present-day Northern Mexico of Indigenous, African, and Spanish heritage journeyed more than one-thousand miles to established a new city for New Spain. S

ince that time, Los Angeles has been under the flags of Spain, Mexico and the United States and has grown into one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas. Managed by the City of Los Angeles, El Pueblo is a living museum that continues to fulfill its unique role as the historic and symbolic heart of the city, reflecting the diverse multiculturalism that contributed to its early history.

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Karen Bass to El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, the historic home of Olvera Street. During her visit, Mayor Bass spent time greeting local merchants, connecting with visitors, and taking photos with the community that makes this special place so vibrant.

She also stopped to enjoy a delicious plate from La Noche Buena, the beloved family-owned restaurant proudly run by Memo and his sons. Thank you, Mayor Bass, for supporting our local businesses, culture, and the living history of El Pueblo.
