Northeast Los Angeles is one of the oldest settled areas of Los Angeles and is also one of the most scenic due to its architecture and location between the Mt. Washington Hills, the San Rafael Hills and the Monterey Hills, Los Angeles, California. ​

Northeast Los Angeles experienced white flight, from the development of Mid-Wilshire district in the 1920's through the late 1960's/early 1970's with the development and creation of new neighborhoods in Temple City to the east and the San Fernando VAlley to the north-west. By the mid 1960's, it was becoming a largely Latino enclave. Over development caused land prices to drop. By the mid 1970's, it had emerged as a predominantly Latino are. In keeping with it's tradition of being a haven for immigrants, however, the racial demographics never fully homogenized leading to what is now Northeast Los Angeles.
