In the early 20th century, Los Angeles was one of the world's leading oil producers, with oil derricks dotting the landscape.
The name Los Angeles translates to 'The Angels' in Spanish, a nod to its original name, 'El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula'.
Beneath the bustling streets of LA lies a network of abandoned tunnels that were once used for streetcars and prohibition-era speakeasies.
Scattered throughout the city are hidden staircases that were once used by residents to navigate the hilly terrain before cars became popular.
Angels Flight, a funicular railway in downtown LA, is just 298 feet long and has been a city icon since 1901.
