EastLosAngeles (also East L.A., EastLos, Los, or The Eastside) is a geographic and cultural term that refers to the predominantly Latino communities lying to the east and northeast of Downtown LosAngeles, for the most part east of the LosAngeles River.
This was not always the case: the areas of northeastern LosAngeles 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.
East L.A. formed the political and cultural heart of Latino life in LosAngeles County during a period when the overall population of the county was overwhelmingly white and often quite hostile to Latinos.
