As time passes, things change in pretty drastic ways. As decades go by, more and more things change and evolve all over the world. There isn't much left out there that looks the same as it did even just 10 years ago. With new technology and a growing population everywhere, things need to change. From bigger buildings to busier streets to higher prices in stores, seeing cities in the past can be interesting.

Los Angeles is a city in California, USA, that is pretty well known worldwide. Los Angeles is home to Hollywood, which, of course, is home to many of the world's most iconic people. Los Angeles has not only been a hotspot for news, but it is also a popular travel destination for many, it is a popular spot for filming, and it is an interesting place to explore. Los Angeles didn't used to be all hustle and bustle, though. It can be odd to see it a little quieter.

Here, we have collected 25 vintage and historical images of what Los Angeles looked like in the past. These images range all throughout the 1900s. It's cool to see how just one part of the world has been affected by change and development throughout the decades.
