iTunes published a city walk tour of historic Olvera Street, the oldest Los Angeles community.

Planning a visit to Los Angeles? Learn about this city’s history by visiting historic Olvera Street. Here’s a little bit of what you’ll learn:

1. LA wasn’t always Los Angeles. It was called El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles. Translation: The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels

2. Los Angeles was the first Spanish civilian settlement in Southern California.

3. LA first served as a resting place for the Spanish king’s troops.

4. Avila Adobe, the oldest house in Los Angeles, was built in 1818.

There’s so much more. Buy the iTunes app and listen to the rest.
