PERSHING SQUARE

Pershing Square has reflected Los Angeles' economic and social growth since its inception in 1866 as “La Plaza Abaja.” It was later dedicated to the American military hero of WWI, General Pershing. In the1950s progress required a parking lot for 1800 cars – built under the Square. Pershing Square serves as an outdoor concert and event center providing numerous free programs for the community.
