History

The Los Angeles City College (LACC) is the flagship of the Los Angeles Community College District, which comprises nine separate college campuses. The LACC campus was originally a farm outside of Los Angeles, owned by Dennis Sullivan. When the Pacific Electric Interurban Railroad connected downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood in 1909, the area began to develop rapidly. In 1914, the LA Board of Education, moved the teacher's Normal School to the site. The Italian Romanesque campus became what is now the University of California, Los Angeles in 1919. In need of more space, UCLA moved to its present location in 1929 and the LA Board of Education bought the site for $700,000. On September 4, 1929, Los Angeles Junior College opened its doors for the first time with over 1,300 students and 54 teachers. It later changed its name to The Los Angeles City College.

After World War II, LACC faced a deluge of students under the G.I. Bill. To try and address the influx, a second, four-year institution was formed on the same campus in 1947, the Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences. The attempt proved unwieldy and, in 1955, the four-year school moved east to become California State University at Los Angeles. In 1954, the school began an eight-year construction program that replaced its original, unenforced masonry structures with the current buildings.
