The narrowest definition of Los Angeles is the CITY of Los Angeles (excluding all neighboring areas). The city has 462 square miles of land mass and has 3.8 million people living in dozens of neighborhoods. The northernmost part of the CITY of Los Angeles is located in the enormous San Fernando Valley. Many of these cities exist within the scope of Los Angeles County, but they have much less to do with their county when it comes to everyday matters.
In fact, the current mayor of the city of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, used to be a city councillor for the city of Los Angeles whose district contained much of Hollywood. Hollywood began on its own in 1903, but joined the city of Los Angeles a few years later, in 1910.Most Hollywood residents (Hollywood Central, East Hollywood, North Hollywood) live with their older brother, the city of Los Angeles. The goal here is to provide a mental tool that can help impose a provisional order on the dense mosaic of places in the Los Angeles region. Now, unlike the situation between San Francisco County and the city of San Francisco, the city of Los Angeles was not an only child.
