First, the majority of the themes and property types significant in military history in Los Angeles are covered under other contexts and themes of the citywide historic context statement as indicated in the “Introduction” below. Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

    Fort Moore, Los Angeles, CA Mexican–American War

    1 Fort Moore, Los Angeles, CA Mexican–American War On August 13, 1846, early in the conflict, U.S. naval forces under Commodore Robert F. Stockton arrived at Los Angeles and raised the American flag without opposition. A small occupying force of 50 Marines, under Captain Archibald H. Gillespie, built a rudimentary barricade on what was then known as Fort Hill overlooking the small town. Siege of Los Angeles The harsh martial law of Captain Gillespie soon ignited a popular uprising among Californios and Mexicans led by General José María Flores beginning on September 22, 1846. Known as the Siege of Los Angeles, Californios assembled a force to retake Los Angeles. Gillespie's fifty marines were able to resist an initial attack on the government house in town and regrouped on Fort Hill, where they strengthened the fortification with sandbags and mounted their cannon. As time passed, the Californio forces opposing the U.S. takeover grew to just over 600 men, with several Californio citizens voicing opposition. General Flores offered an ultimatum: leave within 24 hours or face attack. Gillespie agreed to withdraw from Los Angeles, under safe passage, on September 30, 1846. On October 7, the U.S. forces regrouped, with Commodore Stockton sending 350 Americans, including 200 U.S. Marines, under U.S. Navy Capt. William Mervine, to retake Los Angeles. The marines were defeated in their attempt at the Battle of Dominguez Rancho, as Stockton's fleet fled south to San Diego. In December, U.S. Army forces under Captain Stephen W. Kearny were defeated by the Californio Lancers at the Battle of San Pasqual.

    S Los Angeles and Disneyland/Orange County

    California’s Los Angeles and Disneyland/Orange County Los Angeles and Orange County – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster No California urban scene surpasses Los Angeles and Orange County when sheer enthusiasm and brash exuberance are at issue. The Los Angeles region is a scene of worlds within worlds, ranging from the sun and surf worshippers at Venice Beach to the robust Little Saigon enclave of Vietnamese ex-patriots in Westminster, Orange County. Los Angeles, or LA as it is commonly called, boasts an unusual diversity of cultures and lifestyles within its neighborhoods. It is a melange of movie sets, oil wells, neon strips, sprawling suburbs, and broad boulevards. Wilshire Boulevard winds through Beverly Hills, home of movie stars and the site of eclectic boutiques. Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards pulsate in a neon glow, with nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. The lush, sprawling campus of UCLA lies in Westwood, a community with a college town feeling. Venice Beach is famous for its promenade where muscle builders, volleyball players, inline skaters, and strollers come to enjoy the sun and each other. Downtown, the Civic Center and futuristic ARCO plaza area blooms with skyscrapers. Little Tokyo and Chinatown are only minutes away. All these elements make LA special. Steady sunshine and a salubrious climate lend a relaxed flavor to the otherwise fast- paced life on the freeways. Weather is mild, even in winter, and the 14 inches of annual rainfall occurs mostly from November to March. A tinge of smog and the threat of congestion are the down side of life in LA.
