| El Sereno (Spanish for "the tranquil") is a district in LA and is considered to be a part of the East Los Angeles region. El Sereno was founded in 1905 as a working-class suburb of Los Angeles along the former Pacific Electric Railway line that ran in the median of Huntington Drive. Like most of East Los Angeles, it was extremely ethnically diverse until World War II and shortly thereafter, when most of its non-Mexican-descended population moved to newer suburbs in other parts of Greater Los Angeles. Gangs became a serious problem in the late 1970s. The gentrification that has occurred in many of the districts east of the Los Angeles River has yet to occur to any significant degree in El Sereno, despite its proximity to affluent South Pasadena. El Sereno was once called Farmington. It is rumored that the TV Show "The Shield" was based in this area. The northernmost segment of the Long Beach Freeway (I-710) was intended by Caltrans to go through El Sereno, as well as South Pasadena. The popular association of the 710 controversy with South Pasadena is largely a result of that city's appraisal demographics (wealthy and white), even though construction of the freeway would result in nearly as many historic homes being demolished in El Sereno. Community activists filed suit against Caltrans requesting the same treatment be given to El Sereno as it would South Pasadena. Thus, any future undergrounding of the roadway would include El Sereno. |
