It’s wild that a lot of these neighborhoods are no longer where they started. They have a lineage so old that the city changed around them.

They've survived and adapted for decades with major heat on them. With the city destroying their neighborhoods just to get rid of them. It doesn't work.

Great video but correction on the Dog Town Gang info, my family lived in dog town in the 1890s. It was almost exclusively a Sicilian colony inside of the Los Angeles Italian enclave ! The dog town gang had to pay taxes to the College Park Gang (Matranga family) in the early 1900s until they formed an alignment with the North End Gang run by the first mafia boss of Los Angeles named Joe Ardizzone. After the North End Gang won the war of 1906 in the 1910s dog town was still a predominantly Sicilian gang. The Italian enclave lasted until the 1930s when it was cleared out for the building of the Los Angeles jail and by that time the neighborhood was predominantly Mexican just as Clover St had Irish and Jews originally.

Great input. Now, this makes sense to me. Everyone wants to claim to be the oldest but there’s a difference between a neighborhood being around since the 1890s and a gang and social group being established at the same time. DogTown may have been a gang that dates back to this era but the question is if Mexican youth were members of these gangs. This includes other areas such as Primera Flats and other areas with European roots.

Dang, now I wanna go do research for history of Los Angeles during the 1800s. So much history that is not taught in schools.
Great video. My partner wrote a scipt for a movie based on the north end gang vs the college park gang which predates all of these gangs when dogtown, lincoln heights, and clover street were all a part of the Italian enclave. It was all about the Matranga family (college park gang) against the Ardizzone family (north end gang) in those days of los angeles. They were the first black hand borgata back when olvera street was still called Wine street. The Italian vinters sold their wine in what we call Olvera street before these gangs existed... and btw the screenplay on this is called 'Alameda.'

I grew up in Dogtown, from 79 to 95. I'm not so sure the gang itself originates in the 1800s. There were definitely neighborhoods in LA in the late 1800s with that name. But as a Chicano gang, I would say that it originated in the 1940s during the time of WWII. While all the adult men were at war, a lot of young men back home got together and formed gangs. This happened throughout LA. If someone wanted to really dig into the history of LA gangs, just go to the downtown LA Central library and look for primary documents mentioning Dogtown or Clover, Hazard or Frogtown.

@@streetgangs I love this kind of history. It often gets ignored, but it's a very important part of life for millions of Americans. I grew up in Venice and Santa Monica at a time when gangs were a huge presence, and it was impossible NOT to know bangers, especially in the neighborhoods in which I lived. I learned a lot about what drew young men into gangs. Yes, the absence of fathers is part of it, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Another element is also the need for human connection regarding the shared hardship of poverty. And people are naturally territorial. Yes, gang members mostly live in units their family rent, but they begin to identify with the neighborhood at large, and the natural tendency of young men to feel a need to prove themselves creates for a combustible situation. I don't think society takes the issue seriously enough. To solve it takes a lot more than being tough of crime, but also being smart of crime prevention. This means addressing the adversity of poverty.
This fellow presenting this segment is eloquent and seems to be doing a wonderfully informative piece. Good job man!

Nice way to get the law to kickstart an investigation which can have a hate crime charge tacked onto it as well.
When i was young living im L.A. i meet and hung out with alot of older, OG's or Veteranios whatever you wanna call them, and unlike the rest of the youths of my age, you could usually find me sipping cups of beer cause i was to young still to hold a can or bottle infront of cops, id be playing dominos, dice or cards, working on rides but the whole time i was listening and learning how to install hydros, stereos & interior and auto body. Also how to cook great bbq, do old english writing and old school gang writing. The most interesting to me was learning the gang history, the known gamgs, the known areas, the reason this set has beef with that set, were they started, why they started , sometimes who started them and even got to meet Toki. He even gave me a few $ on a hot day to grab a few ice creams for everybody including myself, also met several hispanic vets and a few of them were in the Zoot Suit Riots. I loved the history, but find it ridiculously funny how many hoods arent where they started, and some aint even anywhere close to where they started. Like Rockwood, first of the area there from over between Fremont & Belmont High Schools, in the little dip between them where the empty lot "Belmont Tunnels" was, just up on the hill closer to Belmont was not just Rockwood but ive stood on the corner or Rockwood Ave. & Piru St. Yes that Piru St. and neither gang exists there today. You cant find 1 Rockwood or Piru member anywhere close to there, when i was there last it was mostly Asian and in particular Philppino gangs there, i got several homies that are from RBS=Rebel Boys and they lived around there and on the Hollywood W.Hollywood boundries, go figure. Ive seen and meet guys from Duce 5 Menlo, and they told me they were a set from the Menlo Park area of Oakland, CA. Ive known guys from C14st, young and old but the ones i meet all lived in different parts of N.Hollywood and thats not even their hood, in fact a couple of the og zoot suiters i knew where from there. 3 brothers in fact, the oldest taught me upholstery. But they all lived in N.Hollywood, 2 families lived in my apts. Before i lived there i lived on the other side of NH and had meet 5 brothers all from NHLs, and they were all old og's too and even funnier was the familys knew each other. There sets didnt get along but they had known each other all their lives. Then after moving to the other side of NH and meeting the C14ers i meet what is now my bf since 6th grade and im 41 so a long time.He and his family know those other familys and he is a 3rd or 4th generation NHLs, his whole family are. So even in this big a** city of L.A. it ended up feeling like small town cause everyone knew everyone in NH for some reason, probably the fact they had 2 high schools that went toe to toe and that was it. So in the Late 60's through early 80's in NH you either went to NoHo High or Grant High, only 2 Jr Highs too i believe. If i remember it right they were Madison on Ethel way between Van Owen & Sherman Way and Walter Reed which was hidden on Irvine St. But its back gate was on Colfax Ave.(so is NHHighs front doors), and it was supposed to be a minimum city/county jail, but became a school, in fact several schools in L.A. county got the same fate. You can tell which ones if you get a good look, i think Bancroft Jr High in Hollywood is another. Id love to see you do a series of videos on the San Fernando & San Gabriel valley Gangs. There are some pretty old ones too. I find funny how middle and upper middle class neighborhoods in the West San Fernando Valley have gangs, when i was living there in the early 80's-90's i would have laughed in a dudes face if he hit me up, then claimed some sh*t like Canoga Park 13, or Reseda Boyz. Im from east side SF, N.Hollywood before the NoHo art crap, my BF is from Denny St. and i dont recall ever bumping into someone from either of those, and i never stayed trapped. Id take buses all through LA. I hung out in every mall in the SFV and being a tagger i meet alot of taggers, Tagbangers, gangbangers etc. And i remember when there were 2 WAG's, a Crip set S.Whittset Ave and Bloods N.Whittset Ave. Or maybe its the other way, heck it was like 1991 when i meet 3 dudes from it in continuation school and were from one and in some pimp mob click of which ever had that, its been days but i remember after school the 2 pmc's would spark the weed and all the smokers from school would hit it except the one guy from the rival WAG, and they'ed laugh then all 3 would walk off together and 1 was technically out of bounds at Jack London continuation. I learned they all knew each other, both sides, idk wtf happened but 2 former bff's started beefing 1 starts a hood the other gets one better and starts a bigger hood, and of course these former friends have all the same friends since like 2nd grade i believe and it became pick your side. The boundary line was either Oxnard or Burbank Blvd. deviding them. Also this girl at the same high school who's brother was a founding member and her baby daddy was one of the three too, said they used to stand accross the intersection and throw up gang signs and some times throw rocks at each other but that was it. Lol i saw a homegirl of mine fight 6 Runnymead St. Locas she was from Carnales 13 or C13. Anyways it would be great to see some history on stuff like that.

Good video. I grew up in Lincoln Heights. My older bro is from ESC 19. This video brings back memories.
The Italian area extended all the way through Chinatown, over the LA River into Cypress Park, and Glassel Park. There are some Italians still living there today. Over 100 years ago the Chinese neighborhoods grew and pushed many of the Italians out. Cypress Park and Glassel Park areas are mostly Mexican and Philippino today. A Philippino gang called Santanas and Mexican gang called the Avenues ruled those areas.
My dad grew up in the Dogtown neighborhood on Ann St. I remember whenever we took the train somewhere, there was a baseball field that ran up against the tracks and leaving or coming back into Union Station he’d always point to where he played left field, lol!
These historical series about the varrios with you Alex presenting and the info on location / graffiti / history etc is very interesting. The interviews are good. I just like the stuff that has history and how Alex presents it

Not only are these the oldest gangs in Los Angeles,But the oldest modern day gangs in America.Another crazy thing is that the biggest & baddest Hispanic street gangs didn't even make the list" F13 -18st - 38st .

Both part one and two are very informative. Your ability to find the gang markings everywhere is incredible. For example when you find the crossed out letters on the mural, or the ancient gang initials etched in the sidewalk. I plan on placing a link of these two videos on my class wordpress site so it can be a useful resource for the novel The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia. In the novel the author has a fake Los Angeles street gang called EMF that leave their initials, and are constantly prevalent in the text. I think the graffiti in the book is much like what you show in these two shorts; a way for a often marginalized group to leave their imprint in the community, and let people, or in the books case, know that they exist, and from the looks of your shorts will continue to.
Great two part series. Can you do more interviews & videos about the Hispanic gangs?
i use to live in Cypress park & grew up around all theese gang history.. thank god i made it out alive
great video fam. You went into the heart of a lot of neighborhoods. Did you get a pass from each area to do that, or did you just chance it and come on your own? Either way, very informative history. I hope you do the same with B's and C's as a series.
Again, great work Alex Alonso. Informative how u pointed out gentrification in the varrios too. My towne, Minneapolis is gettin' hit hard by gentrification.

i was living in dog town in the late 70's i went to ann street elementary and it was rare to have a shooting during the week but when the weekend came we had shootings for sure. i actually saw dog town gangster having shoot outs with cops and we had some brutal murders in the projects. walking to school you would actually see brains and blood on the side walk from a killing the night before. people say los angeles got crazy in the 90's when crack came in but that's a lie, los angeles has always been crazy. 💙

Great job and research. Well done.
You should do the oldest varrios in the San Fernando Valley like San Fer & other gangs over here that would be cool
Great video series, very enlightening research on the gangs. I always correct people and remind them that the gangs are Mexican in reality, with some other Hispanic members scattered throughout. The Irish and Italian thing is very interesting, it's funny that to this day Irish people and Mexicans seems to get along very well, and even have history south of the border, for instance with the San Patricios.

My friend's dad was from Alpine St. Definitely probably one of the oldest gangs. They don't exist anymore. It's all ChinaTown now.
Thank you for the doc: my grand father was from Clover & his pops (never met him) was from also Clover, and he told me the og's were from Ireland, and that East Los & Boyle Heights were Jewish, Irish, Russians b4 the Eses, good doc: thanks for sharing.
You need to set up tours. I'm from the East Coast, and I have never been to Cali. I would love to visit all these locations and learn about the history of the streets.
Seeing your video for the 1st time. I just learned 4 of those top 10 are in my neighborhood. I live in Lincoln Heights. Once you pass Griffin, you're in Clover. Take Riverside, youre in Frogtown. Go south of Clover and you're in Dog Town. Pass Dog Town and you're in PF. Bunch of history.
