Los Angeles (IPA: /lɒˈsændʒəlɨs/) is the largest city in the state of California and the second-largest in the United States of America.[1] Often abbreviated as L.A., it is an alpha world city having an estimated 2006 population of 3.8 million.[2] and spanning over 469.1 square miles (1,214.9 square kilometers) in Southern California. Additionally, the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Santa Ana metropolitan area is home to nearly 13 million people who hail from all over the globe and speak over a hundred different languages.[3] Los Angeles is the seat of Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the United States, and its inhabitants are referred to as "Angelenos." The city's most popular nickname is the "City of Angels."

Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula (The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of Porciúncula). It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following independence from Spain and then a part of the United States in 1848 at the conclusion of the Mexican-American War. It was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850—five months before California achieved statehood.

Los Angeles is one of the world's most prominent centers of culture, technology, and international trade, and is home to world-renowned institutions covering a broad range of professional and cultural fields. The city and its immediate vicinity lead the world in producing popular entertainment—such as motion picture, television, and recorded music—which forms the base of Los Angeles' international fame and global status.
