The incredibly comprehensive Los Angeles Almanac claims to be the only online almanac devoted exclusively to one city. The History page linked above includes a chronological timeline of the county's history (the History Timeline of Los Angeles County section) and a collection of entries organized by time period, from Early Los Angeles History and Mexican Los Angeles, to 20th Century Los Angeles County. The Topical Los Angeles County History section should not be missed: all entries are sorted into topical themes such as African American History, Crime & Justice History, Food History, Government History, Military History, and many more. Finally, the L.A. Video section offers a list of short videos covering various historical events and landmarks. The page can be navigated by scrolling or using the links at the top to jump to specific sections. Additionally, readers can also explore other sections of the Almanac covering areas such as "Geography" and "Government," which are linked in the menu at the top of the page.
