The difference wasn\u2019t very large by today\u2019s standards, just 70,000 more residents, but it was a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n<p>Up until then, San Francisco had been considered the leading city west of the Mississippi, thanks to the Gold Rush of 1849, which had transformed it from a sleepy hamlet of 200 to a bustling metropolis of 25,000 in just two years. By the end of the 1920s, however, L.A.\u2019s population would double in size and snatch San Francisco\u2019s position as the West Coast\u2019s fastest growing city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c1920 was the breakout year for Los Angeles, when L.A. really sped up,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/profile\/philip-ethington\/\" data-gc-link=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/profile\/philip-ethington\/\">Phil Ethington,<\/a> professor of <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/hist\/\">history<\/a><span class=\"professional-title\">, <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/poir\/\">political science<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/spatial.usc.edu\/\">spatial sciences<\/a><\/span> at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Science. He is at work on the forthcoming book <em>Ancient Metropolis: The Los Angeles Region and its Place in Global History, from the Pleistocene to the Present<\/em>. \u201cThe reason for all this is that the city\u2019s business leaders were very ambitious. Starting in the 1890s, they began organizing infrastructure with the plan to make it the biggest city on the West Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside infrastructure, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/dirty-water\/\" data-gc-link=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/dirty-water\/\">controversial Los Angeles Aqueduct<\/a> erected in 1913 to quench the thirst of the city\u2019s growing population, key industries also emerged during this period. By the 1920s, sports arenas like the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and sumptuous hotels like the Biltmore were rising all across the basin. They formed the city we still see today when we close our eyes and envision L.A.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16835\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16835\" style=\"width: 980px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16835 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryA.jpg 980w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryA-500x340.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryA-768x523.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16835\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oil wells poking out between office buildings and houses became a common site in L.A. starting in the 1920s.

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first was oil. In 1892, Edward Doheny (the same Doheny whose name graces a USC <a href=\"https:\/\/libraries.usc.edu\/locations\/doheny-memorial-library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-gc-link=\"https:\/\/libraries.usc.edu\/locations\/doheny-memorial-library\">library<\/a>) drilled the first productive well near the current site of the Echo Park Swimming Pool off of Sunset Blvd. Soon oil jobs, or the prospect of digging for your own fount of liquid gold, lured tens of thousands west and made a few men like Doheny wildly wealthy. By the 1920s, a sprawling web of wells across the city helped to make California the country\u2019s most productive oil state.<\/p>\n<p>Just down the street from rows of steadily bobbing oil pumps, another powerful industry was on the rise. By the 1920s, movie-making had congealed in L.A., where filmmakers like Cecil B. DeMille and Jesse Lasky had discovered the area\u2019s versatility as a stage set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey realized that Los Angeles was the ideal place to make movies, with 300 cloudless days a year and all the landscapes in the world that you could ask for: mountains, deserts, forests, lakes and beaches,\u201d says Ethington.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of skilled laborers, along with aspiring actors, actresses, screenwriters and other creative talent, flowed into the city to take part in this latest iteration of show business. Thus, you\u2019ll find a number of theatres hitting 100 right around now. The Egyptian Theatre opened in 1922, the El Capitan in 1926 and Grauman\u2019s Chinese Theatre in 1927.<\/p>\n<p>One other new industry was also on the ascent, thanks to the push of those ambitious city businessmen. <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em> publisher Harrison Otis Gray and his son-in-law Harry Chandler backed engineer Donald Douglas\u2019s new aircraft plant, which opened in Santa Monica in 1921. Douglas Aircraft would eventually churn out tens of thousands of planes for World War II and subsequent conflicts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why So Many Los Angeles Landmarks Are Turning 100 Years Old This Year\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gq2ogDtWsVI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>La La Land<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside these emergent industries arose one more \u2014 land.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the real estate boom was tied in to these new economic drivers: Arriving workers needed places to live and those making it rich wanted sprawling estates.<\/p>\n<p>There were also more romantic reasons, worked to great advantage by real estate boosters. \u201cMovies were set in Los Angeles, and people knew that stars like Lillian Gish and Charlie Chaplin lived here,\u201d says Ethington.<\/p>\n<p>The mild weather was also an advantage, he adds. \u201cIt was relatively easy for real estate promoters to sell the lifestyle of Southern California, it\u2019s ideal climate and Mediterranean environment: \u2018Here are orange groves and night-blooming jasmine, which you can smell all night long.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16836\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16836\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryC-500x355.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryC-500x355.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryC-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DCLAS_100_Landmarks_InStoryC.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Auto Club building celebrates 100 this year.

Mulholland Highway was tarred down the spine of the Santa Monica Mountains. Broad surface streets like Western, Vermont and Figueroa were stamped across the basin, replacing dirt roads, which had thus far persisted well into the new century.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, the oil was ready at hand for supplying gasoline to the automobiles,\u201d says Ethington.
