  Eastern Los Angeles (region) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a cultural term, East Los Angeles, refers to the predominantly Latino communities lying east of the city of Los Angeles, primarily the unincorporated area of East Los Angeles and City Terrace, but also the LA neighborhood of Boyle Heights.
In use, East Los Angeles or East LA often refers to the city of East LA and adjacent neighborhoods of eastern Los Angeles with similar characteristics, while the Eastside or Eastern Los Angeles refers solely to those neighborhoods lying within the eastern boundries of the City of Los Angeles which vary in characteristics.
This was not always the case: the areas of northeastern Los Angeles had heavy white populations until the 1930s, when the development of whites-only areas in Mid-Wilshire and the West Side drew away most of the area's white population.

 A Brief History - Gangs in Los Angeles from Streetgangs.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
During the 1920's and 30's, some of the Black gangs that were active in Los Angeles were the "Goodlows," "Kelleys," "Magnificents," "Driver Brothers," the "Boozies," and the "Blodgettes" which hung out in an area off the Imperial Freeway known as the "Blodgette Track," where the 105 Freeway is today.
The "Magnificents" were a group of youths from the Central Avenue on the eastside of LA. Eventually these gangs faded in the late 1930's as the youths became older.
Bunchy Carter, who was once a Renegade Slauson (A Los Angeles Street Gang from the late 50's to 1965), became the leader of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Black Panther Party.

East Los Angeles was but a portion of the Lugo family holdings, a mostly untendered and uninhabited wilderness, bordered by the road to the San Gabriel Mission on the North, the old El Camino Real on the South, the Los Angeles River to the West and the Rio Hondo (river) to the East.
Yet, upon the outbreak of the Mexican American War in 1846, the loyalty of the natives of Los Angeles proved to by surprisingly strong, and it was the locals that stopped the run of the Bear Flag Revolt.

Larry Ward of United Anglers said Los Vaqueros could become a sheltered family fishing spot with much of the biological richness and none of the problems of the delta, where waterways are often clogged with personal craft, banks crumble from tidal action and there is limited public access.
Los Vaqueros fish will also grow up in a lake designed to improve water quality for the district's 400,000 customers by tapping delta water at its purest in the winter and spring.
