    When talking about Los Angeles, what comes to mind is the Hollywood sign, traffic, and the Lakers. However, there are many hidden truths about Los Angeles that you may not know.

    1. Los Angeles began producing a quarter of the world’s oil in 1923. Still, Los Angeles is considered the third-largest oil field in the country.
    2. LA is just a short name, it used to be called “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de losÁngelessobre el Río Porciúncula” which means “The Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels on the Portiuncula River”.
    3. In February 1978, the amount of rainwater collected was nearly a foot in 24 hours.
    4. It doesn’t rain in Los Angeles, but it does pour. A gully in the San Gabriel Mountains picked up an inch of rain in a single minute on April 5, 1926.
    5. The current Dodger Stadium is the site of the discovery of oil, which was discovered in 1892.
    6. On the Beverly Hills High School property was an oil derrick that alone produces about 400 barrels of oil per day. The school’s total revenue is around $300,000 per year in royalties.
    7. The Los Angeles Coroner’s Office has a gift store that many people don’t know about. So don’t forget to visit the coroner’s office to finish your holiday shopping.
    8. Beverly Hills began as a modest bean ranch.
    9. The Santa Monica Pier was basically constructed to protect a wastewater pipe that discharged treated sewage into the ocean.
    10. Ending of the film industry in Los Angeles? Thomas Edison owned most of the country’s film patents. So the filmmakers moved west to avoid Edison’s irrelevant claims of ownership.

    1. In 2006, a new tar pit was discovered. It was famous for containing the remains of giant sloths, saber-toothed cats, American lions, and a mammoth known as Zed.
    2. You can’t drive more than 2,000 sheep on Hollywood Boulevard, as it is illegal.
    3. Charlie Sheen bought 2,615 outfield seats at Los Angeles Stadium in 1996 to catch a home run ball.
    4. Many celebrities are buried in Hollywood’s Forever Cemetery, such as Mel Blanc, Looney Tunes voice actor, and his tombstone reads, “That’s all folks.”
    5. If Los Angeles were a country, its economy would be more prominent than that of Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and Sweden.
    6. Licking a toad in Angel City is illegal.
    7. The original Hollywood sign used to say “Hollywoodland.”
    8. Los Angeles has one of the shortest railroads globally, called the Angels Flight incline, which is 320 feet long.
    9. Baggy suits have been banned since 1943 after the zoot suit riot.
    10. The Getty Museum uses goats to maintain its beautiful grounds every spring.
