| On
Sept. 4, 1781, the Mexican provincial governor, Filipe de Neve, founded
“El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Angeles,”
meaning “The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels.”
The pueblo became the capital of the Mexican province, Alta California,
and it was the last place to surrender to the United States at the
time of the American occupation in 1847. By the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo in 1848, Mexico ceded California to the United States, and
Los Angeles was incorporated as a city in 1850. |
