History Edit

 
The area now known as Echo Park in 1894. Echo Park Lake is at the top left. Glendale Boulevard is marked as Lake Shore Avenue. The Temple–Beaudry district is at the right center.

Edendale Edit

Main article: Edendale, Los Angeles

Established in 1892, and long before Hollywood became synonymous with the commercial film industry of the United States, the area of Echo Park known as Edendale was the center of filmmaking on the West Coast.[4]

By the 1910s, several film studios were operating on Allesandro Avenue (now Glendale Boulevard) along the Echo Park-Silverlake border, including the Selig Polyscope Company, Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios, the Pathe West Coast Film Studio, and others.[4]

Silent film stars who worked in the Edendale studios included Fatty Arbuckle, Harold Lloyd, Mabel Normand and Gloria Swanson. Charlie Chaplin's first film was made at Keystone Studios, as well as the very first feature-length comedy, which starred Chaplin and Normand.[4]

The first pie-in-the-face scene was filmed at what later became the Mack Sennett Studios on Glendale Boulevard near Effie Street. The complex, which is now part of a storage facility, dates from 1909 and includes one of the area's first permanent sound stages, the factories where movies are made. The former studio, 1712 Glendale Boulevard, is City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 256.[4]

Echo Park Lake Edit

Main article: Echo Park Lake

Echo Park Lake was established in 1868, as a drinking water reservoir, filled with water from a ditch that connects to the Los Angeles River in Los Feliz to the reservoir.[4] In 1891, the four owners of the surrounding area gave up 33 acres (13 ha) of land around the reservoir to the city so that it could be used as a park. The city began work landscaping the park in October 1892.[4] City parks superintendent Joseph Henry Tomlinson chose the name because of echoes he heard during the construction of Echo Park Lake in 1892.[5] By 1895, the park and accompanying boathouse were completed.[4] By the late 1910s, motion picture companies on Allesandro Street, now Glendale Boulevard, had been using the park as a filming location.[4]

Echo Park Lake was identified as an impaired body of water in 2006, and the city allocated $64.7 million to fund its cleanup and revitalization.[6][7] In the summer of 2011, the lake was closed off and drained when the rehabilitation project began. The lake reopened on June 5, 2013, after a $45 million renovation.[8]

Starting in November 2019, a growing population of homeless people began moving into the lake grounds.[9] The encampment included nearly 200 homeless tents, and four homeless individuals died at the park in 2020.[10][11] On March 25, 2021, the park was closed for renovations and cleared of the homeless encampments. While closure notices were posted throughout the park days before the sweep, over 200 protesters clashed with LAPD, who arrested 179 protesters.[12] The encampment and ensuing incident became a major flashpoint in LA's homelessness crisis.[13]

Of the 183 homeless individuals living at Echo Park Lake, only 17 had successfully transitioned into permanent housing as of March 2022.[14] In February 2023, councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez announced plans to remove the fence that encircles the lake.[15] The plans became divisive within the community, many of whom have advocated for the fence to remain, amid the ongoing homelessness crisis.[16][17]

The fence surrounding the lake was removed May 30, 2023 by the city. [18]

Transportation Edit

Glendale Freeway termination Edit

Main article: California State Route 2

The Glendale Freeway (SR 2) was originally planned and constructed in 1959 to connect with the Hollywood Freeway (US-101) through the neighborhoods of Silver Lake and Echo Park, but terminates roughly 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of its intended terminus at the Hollywood Freeway due to opposition from residents living and developers building on a hill that is now a private gated[19] community called Hathaway Estates.[20]

In 1962, as a result of this local community opposition, the full build-out plan was rescinded and construction was terminated at the present SR-2 terminus near Glendale Bl and Duane Street. Since then, commuter traffic exiting and entering on to SR-2 has passed through the community, primarily along Glendale Bl and Alvarado Street, which has contributed to congestion.[21] Since that plan has been scrapped, the freeway is somewhat isolated from the remainder of the Los Angeles freeway system.[22] There have been proposals to turn the freeway stub into a sort of public park.[23]

Pacific Electric Railway Edit

Main article: Echo Park Avenue Line

The Pacific Electric Railway, better known as the Red Cars, used to run through Echo Park along the center of Glendale Boulevard. The citywide system of electric trolleys began with the dawn of the 20th century, ultimately spinning a web of rail that linked cities in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. It was the largest and most advanced public transit system in the world at the time.

The Red Car system was sold to Metropolitan Coach Lines, whose executive, Jesse Haugh, had connections to a public transportation company funded by General Motors and other auto-related industries. The Red Cars faded out of service not long afterwards,[24] with the Los Angeles-Glendale-Burbank Line that traveled through Echo Park officially ending service on June 19, 1955.[25]

Gangs Edit

Echo Park has been infamous as being a hot spot for gang activity. This was true in the 1980s and 1990s, but in the early 2010s as the neighborhood began gentrifying, rents started to skyrocket, and a controversial gang injunction forced gang members to move outside their turf, instances of gang violence waned.[26]

In 2013, a Los Angeles judge signed off on a permanent gang injunction aimed at six rival gangs in the Echo Park area, creating what authorities call a "safety zone" for the area. The injunction targets the members of six gangs, namely Echo Park Locos, the Crazys, the Big Top Locos, the Diamond Street Locos, Frogtown Rifa, and Head Hunters.[27] The perimeter for the safety zone is roughly bound by the Los Angeles River to the north, the 110 Freeway to the east, Beverly Boulevard to south and Glendale Boulevard to the west. It includes Echo Park Lake and Dodger Stadium.[28]

The injunction, a civil order, prohibits two or more listed gang members from associating in any way in public or in common areas like courtyards. It also allows for stricter penalties if any listed gang member is caught with drugs, alcohol, guns or vandalizing property.[28]

Geography Edit

Echo Park has many rolling hills and valleys with a few flat areas like Echo Park Lake. Its main commercial corridors are Sunset and Glendale boulevards.

The Temple Beaudry district is at the right center Edendale Edit Main article Edendale Los Angeles Established in 1892 and long before Hollywood became synonymous with the commercial film industry of the United States the area of Echo Park known as Edendale was the center of filmmaking on the West Coast 4 By the 1910s several film studios were operating on Allesandro Avenue now Glendale Boulevard along the Echo Park Silverlake border including the Selig Polyscope Company Mack Sennett s Keystone Studios the Pathe West Coast Film Studio and others 4 Silent film stars who worked in the Edendale studios included Fatty Arbuckle Harold Lloyd Mabel Normand and Gloria Swanson Charlie Chaplin s first film was made at Keystone Studios as well as the very first feature length comedy which starred Chaplin and Normand 4 The first pie in the face scene was filmed at what later became the Mack Sennett Studios on Glendale Boulevard near Effie Street The complex which is now part of a storage facility dates from 1909 and includes one of the area s first permanent sound stages the factories where movies are made The former studio 1712 Glendale Boulevard is City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No 256 4 Echo Park Lake Edit Main article Echo Park Lake Echo Park Lake was established in 1868 as a drinking water reservoir filled with water from a ditch that connects to the Los Angeles River in Los Feliz to the reservoir 4 In 1891 the four owners of the surrounding area gave up 33 acres 13 ha of land around the reservoir to the city so that it could be used as a park The city began work landscaping the park in October 1892 4 City parks superintendent Joseph Henry Tomlinson chose the name because of echoes he heard during the construction of Echo Park Lake in 1892 5 By 1895 the park and accompanying boathouse were completed 4 By the late 1910s motion picture companies on Allesandro Street now Glendale Boulevard had been using the park as a filming location 4 Echo Park Lake was identified as an impaired body of water in 2006 and the city allocated 64 7 million to fund its cleanup and revitalization 6 7 In the summer of 2011 the lake was closed off and drained when the rehabilitation project began The lake reopened on June 5 2013 after a 45 million renovation 8 Starting in November 2019 a growing population of homeless people began moving into the lake grounds 9 The encampment included nearly 200 homeless tents and four homeless individuals died at the park in 2020 10 11 On March 25 2021 the park was closed for renovations and cleared of the homeless encampments While closure notices were posted throughout the park days before the sweep over 200 protesters clashed with LAPD who arrested 179 protesters 12 The encampment and ensuing incident became a major flashpoint in LA s homelessness crisis 13 Of the 183 homeless individuals living at Echo Park Lake only 17 had successfully transitioned into permanent housing as of March 2022 update 14 In February 2023 councilmember Hugo Soto Martinez announced plans to remove the fence that encircles the lake 15 The plans became divisive within the community many of whom have advocated for the fence to remain amid the ongoing homelessness crisis 16 17 The fence surrounding the lake was removed May 30 2023 by the city 18 Transportation Edit Glendale Freeway termination Edit Main article California State Route 2 The Glendale Freeway SR 2 was originally planned and constructed in 1959 to connect with the Hollywood Freeway US 101 through the neighborhoods of Silver Lake and Echo Park but terminates roughly 1 5 miles 2 4 km northeast of its intended terminus at the Hollywood Freeway due to opposition from residents living and developers building on a hill that is now a private gated 19 community called Hathaway Estates 20 In 1962 as a result of this local community opposition the full build out plan was rescinded and construction was terminated at the present SR 2 terminus near Glendale Bl and Duane Street Since then commuter traffic exiting and entering on to SR 2 has passed through the community primarily along Glendale Bl and Alvarado Street which has contributed to congestion 21 Since that plan has been scrapped the freeway is somewhat isolated from the remainder of the Los Angeles freeway system 22 There have been proposals to turn the freeway stub into a sort of public park 23 Pacific Electric Railway Edit Main article Echo Park Avenue Line The Pacific Electric Railway better known as the Red Cars used to run through Echo Park along the center of Glendale Boulevard The citywide system of electric trolleys began with the dawn of the 20th century ultimately spinning a web of rail that linked cities in Los Angeles Orange San Bernardino and Riverside counties It was the largest and most advanced public transit system in the world at the time The Red Car system was sold to Metropolitan Coach Lines whose executive Jesse Haugh had connections to a public transportation company funded by General Motors and other auto related industries The Red Cars faded out of service not long afterwards 24 with the Los Angeles Glendale Burbank Line that traveled through Echo Park officially ending service on June 19 1955 25 Gangs Edit Echo Park has been infamous as being a hot spot for gang activity This was true in the 1980s and 1990s but in the early 2010s as the neighborhood began gentrifying rents started to skyrocket and a controversial gang injunction forced gang members to move outside their turf instances of gang violence waned 26 In 2013 a Los Angeles judge signed off on a permanent gang injunction aimed at six rival gangs in the Echo Park area creating what authorities call a safety zone for the area The injunction targets the members of six gangs namely Echo Park Locos the Crazys the Big Top Locos the Diamond Street Locos Frogtown Rifa and Head Hunters 27 The perimeter for the safety zone is roughly bound by the Los Angeles River to the north the 110 Freeway to the east Beverly Boulevard to south and Glendale Boulevard to the west It includes Echo Park Lake and Dodger Stadium 28 The injunction a civil order prohibits two or more listed gang members from associating in any way in public or in common areas like courtyards It also allows for stricter penalties if any listed gang member is caught with drugs alcohol guns or vandalizing property 28 Geography EditEcho Park has many rolling hills and valleys with a few flat areas like Echo Park Lake Its main commercial corridors are Sunset and Glendale boulevards nbsp 1921Location Edit According to the Los Angeles Times Mapping L A project Echo Park is in Central Los Angeles between Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles It is situated near the 101 the
