LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles County Seat • California Local
City incorporated on April 4, 1850
Los Angeles has several nicknames: L.A., City of Angels, The Entertainment Capital of the World, La-la-land and Tinseltown.
Los Angeles is California’s most populous city and the second most populous city in the United States, with about four million residents. L.A. is the second-largest city in the United States, following New York City. It also has the busiest container port in the Americas.
On Wednesday, May 18, 2022, the U.S. Senate voted to confirmed (by 51-45) Sunshine Suzanne Sykes to a lifetime seat on the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which is located in Los Angeles. Sunshine Suzanne Sykes (born 1974) is an American lawyer serving as a judge of the California Superior Court for Riverside County since 2013.
Sunshine Suzanne Sykes, a Navajo, is California’s first-ever Native American federal judge and just the fifth Indigenous woman in U.S. history to serve on a federal court. Sykes joins four other Native American judges actively serving on the federal bench out of nearly 900 authorized federal judgeships.
Sykes being confirmed is significant because only seven Native Americans have ever served as federal judges in the 230-year history of the U.S. federal courts. That’s out of more than 4,200 people who have served as Article III judges (lifetime judges on U.S. district courts, appeals courts and the Supreme Court).
Besides the five previously mentioned federal judges, including Sykes, the other two were U.S. District Judges Michael Burrage and Frank Howell Seay. There has never been an Indigenous judge on a U.S. appeals court. “When their judges reflect the diversity of America, it increases public confidence in the federal courts.” – Contributor
Los Angeles is home to Griffith Park. It is a large municipal park at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The park features popular attractions such as the Los Angeles Zoo, the Autry Museum of the American West, the Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood Sign. Due to its appearance in many films, the park is among the most famous municipal parks in North America.
The city of Los Angeles and its metropolitan area are the home of eleven top-level professional sports teams, several of which play in neighboring communities but use Los Angeles in their name. Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics and will host the 2028 Summer Olympics.
The local economy of Los Angeles is driven by international shipping and trade, entertainment including television, motion pictures, video games, music recording, streaming video and production.
Aerospace, technology, petroleum, fashion, apparel, and tourism are additional drivers of the L.A. economy. Other significant industries include finance, telecommunications, law, healthcare, retail sales and transportation.
