@HistoryOfLA on Instagram

History of Los Angeles (@HistoryOfLA on Instagram) was created to educate followers of often overlooked and unknown moments captured through the just over 150 years of photographic history of the region. While there are other accounts that share various photos, we wanted to establish program that was unique in its collaborations and defined by its quality research.

Our hope is that by delivering near-daily unique photos and stories, we inspire generations of Angelenos (and really anyone) to get to know their city, look at their surroundings differently, and gain a deeper understanding and respect for how things have evolved and a call to take an active part in directing what we and this city will become.
