The town of Los Angeles
With the significant increasi in both size, population and production of all three towns in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, the need for an administrative center of the region waas felt across the plains. So the goverment took matters in their own hands and ordered for the building of the town of Los Angeles. It would be located right between Chinatown and Malibu - just at the centre of the region. It was the prefect location for the administrative heart of LA.
Construction began in early 1901, starting from the railway:
January 1901:
and south to the shore.
spring 1901:
Los Angeles quickly grew up filled with rich government representatives, as well with ordinary working sims.
winter 1901:
Los Angeles is up to this point the most comfortable for living - she has water, adequate fire coverage, city hall to take care of matters, and the biggest comercial disctrict in a 100 mile radius.
The water tower, pride of LA:
the City Hall, where fat gentlemans in tailcoats disscuss important development issues:
the fire brigade, located right against the fields, which burn so easily in the summer heat:
and lastly, the Rich men's neighborhood, where all the councilors (and the mayor) have mansions:
Since Los Angeles is located between Chinatown and Malibu, she became a hub for their trade - so all the best stuff that the towns had to offer, can be found in LA. That triggered large commercial expansion, even at the cost of some of the residents.
The change to commercial services brought many new technologies to LA - like the first ever gas stations!
And the first medium-wealth shop in Los Angeles Metro (the big one):
Since the town could fulfill all of her industry demand from trade with other towns, the industrial quarter is much smaller and undeveloped compared with the other town's major industries.
In the middle of the second year of existing, LA is now the cemmercial and administrative hub for the region and is facing a bright future ahead of her. Boasting her proud 2972 sitizens and counting, Los Angeles can definetly hope one day to became a world-known metropolis.
