Los Angeles is divided into many neighborhoods. Some of these
neighborhoods were actually towns that were annexed by the growing city. There
are also several independent cities in and around Los Angeles, but they are
popularly grouped with the city of Los Angeles, either due to being
completely engulfed as enclaves by Los Angeles, or lying within its immediate
vicinity.

Generally, the city is divided into the following areas: Downtown L.A., East
L.A., South Los Angeles, the Harbor Area, Hollywood Wilshire, the Westside and
the San Fernando and Crescenta valleys.
