Abstract
The county of Los Angeles embraces more than 4,000 square miles. Within those miles are now 88 incorporated cities, Los Angeles chief among them. There were once at least 100 towns laid out here, all ready to welcome the big wave of settlers from points east who created the region’s big real estate boom. Some were actual burgs that grew and dwindled, were annexed. Others were peddled almost as cynically as Florida swamplands.
