Los Angeles City Directories, and other local directories in Los Angeles County


In the 1800's, northern California was the center of activity on the west coast, with the

Mexican territorial capital at Monterey, the natural harbor at San Francisco, the gold rush in

the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the building of the transcontinental railroad.


Although founded on the 'Mission trail' in 1781, and incorporated in 1850 (the same year that

California became the 31st state in the union), Los Angeles only began to grow significantly in

the later years at the end of the 1800's, with early City Directories first published in the 1870's.


The Los Angeles Public Library has collected many of the city and street directories, and many

more local directories are also available online, as described in the Source Notes (p.2015-25),

with directories from various years (e.g. telephone books) scattered among multiple repositories.


The McAn~, McIn~, and McN~ (-inch/-ish) listings found in Los Angeles and other related

directories between 1897-1987 have been listed chronologically in this article, with most of the

different families identified with additional information in the People and Family Notes section.
