Contrary to the popular belief that the original name of Los Angeles was El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula (The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of the ((River)) Porciuncula), scholars have determined from official documents of Governor Felipe de Neve, Commandant General de la Croix and Viceroy Bucareli that the settlement was simply named El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles (The Town of the Queen of the Angels.)

All of the cities in the region were originally under the rule of HIS MOST CATHOLIC MAJESTY, THE KING OF SPAIN: Los Angeles = The Angels San Francisco de Asis = Saint Francis of Assisi Sacramento = Sacrement San Jose = Saint Joseph San Diego de Alcala = Saint Didacus of Alcalá Las Vegas = The Meadows

"Los Angeles" is Spanish for "The Angels" in reference to it's beauty when it was founded. Since then, a thorough job of removing all traces of its former grandeur has been accomplished.
