assgment 5 (Los Angeles, United States) ;> by a:120731

Los Angeles,
United States

Called the City of Angels by some, Los Angeles is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the United States. Founded in 1781, the city experienced considerable growth after 1890 with the construction of the transnational railway enabling the region to export its citrus fruit to cities in the east. Population growth in Los Angeles preceded and created economic expansion, rather than following it as in other US cities. Like other major cities of the world, Los Angeles has grown at a startling rate; what was a small town of 11,500 in 1897 has grown to a 1995 population of 12.4 million. The beautiful dry summer climate was a major attraction for immigrants over the years and after the Second World War many soldiers chose to settle there. During the period of most rapid growth (1940-1950), the population density of the city increased 55.9%.The city is one of the most important industrial and financial centers of the US. Some of the most important activities include aeronautical, petroleum and film industries. The city also has a diversified economy: over 60% of the largest companies in California have their head offices there. Manufactured materials range from petroleum, chemicals, food products and electronic and computer components.

Just that all.
thank you.
