Historic Filipinotown

Historic Filipinotown is an area in Los Angeles that was a hub for Filipino immigration and commerce during the 1940s. It was officially recognized for its historic role in 2002 by LA City Council President, Eric Garcetti.

A planned project for the area is a monument to Jose Rizal in one of the districts parks, which will go nicely with the mural entitled Gintong Kasaysayan, Gintong Pamana by Eliseo Silva, and the Filipino American Library.
