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. Since 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, Mayor Karen Bass visited Historic El Pueblo de Los Angeles to experience our Día de los Mu***os altares and installations. She enjoyed a performance by Aztec Dancers Xipe Totec, explored the altares inside the Pico House presented by UNAM, and walked around the Kiosko to view the beautiful altares created by the Olvera Street Merchant Association.

Thank you, Mayor Bass, for visiting El Pueblo and celebrating this meaningful tradition with our community!
