Historical boundaries

Historical boundaries have not differed from the modern bounties, always representing Eagle Rock and Highland Park. As the city's population increased, it has expanded southward. In 1925, the district included the communities of Eagle Rock, Highland Park and Annandale before expanding westward to Allesandro Street in 1928. In 1933, the District was expanded to have the boundaries at South Pasadena, Pasadena, Glendale, and Glendale Boulevard, before the western boundary was moved to meet at Griffith Park and including the Atwater area in 1935. In 1955, the district expanded to include Rose Hill.

In 1971, the district now began in the East Los Angeles Mexican-American barrios of El Sereno and Lincoln Heights, extending westward across the Pasadena Freeway to Anglo middle-class homes in Glassell Park, Highland Park, Hermon, and Eagle Rock through Griffith Park. Around the western edge of the district is the Los Feliz District, with some of the city's more expensive homes." In 1986, Los Feliz was removed from the district. Southern reach included El Sereno, College Avenue, Huntington Drive and portions of Alhambra Avenue and Valley Boulevard, then across the San Bernardino Freeway to Brooklyn Avenue, East Beverly Boulevard, Fourth Street and Whittier Boulevard.
