Los Angeles and the surrounding metropolitan area is the largest population center in the western area of the United States. It was basically a sleepy town until the discovery of oil fields in the area and the centralizing of movie studios in the Hollywood area. It really started to become the Los Angeles we know today after World War II, when many of thousands of ex-soldiers and their families started to move there. Now it is a major global cosmopolitan area with millions of inhabitants, many of them being immigrants from countries around the world. Unlike New York City, it is vast in area and the metro area is comprised of many cities and towns, such as Beverly Hills and Hollywood. It has many famous beach front areas, as well as hills and even small mountains. Mexico and Las Vegas are within easy driving range.
