History
Los Angeles began as a Spanish pueblo in 1781 and expanded rapidly with railroads and the early 20th-century film industry; sites like the La Brea Tar Pits reveal older natural history underneath the city.
Conservation
Coastal and urban development pressures make shoreline erosion and stormwater runoff key local issues; visitors can help by using marked paths and avoiding trampling dune vegetation.
