ABOUT
Historic Filipinotown Neigborhood Council was founded and incorporated in 2006 with a mission to make Historic Filipinotown safe for residents, attract investment, and put the area’s restaurants and businesses on the tourist map of the City of Los Angeles.

We sponsor a number of events that celebrate the Filipino culture and contributions that Filipino-Americans have made to the Southern California community.

HISTORY
Historical Background (wikipedia)

From a political and community planning standpoint, Historic Filipinotown resides within the City of Los Angeles’s Thirteenth District, represented by Councilmember Eric Garcetti. It overlaps and is even divided by, the two larger communities of Silver Lake/Echo Park. It was recently created by a resolution proposed by city councilmember Eric Garcetti on August 2, 2002 as an effort to help continue the history of this part of the neighborhood and promote economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, and educational interests and common wealth of local residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. Community plans drawn up for Historic Filipinotown also impact the community plans of Silver Lake-Echo Park and a small section of Westlake south of Beverly Blvd. As a result, Historic Filipinotown must compete with these other localities for services and benefits while avoiding any conflict with their larger community parents.

LOCATION (wikipedia)

Historic Filipinotown is a newly created district of the city of Los Angeles, California, that makes up the southwest portion of Echo Park, Los Angeles, California. It was created by a resolution proposed by city councilmember Eric Garcetti on August 2, 2002. To be specific, the district is bounded by the Hoover Street on the west to Glendale Boulevard on the east, Temple Street on the north, Beverly Boulevard on the southern end. This section of Echo Park has always been a puzzle, especially since it was separated from its northern portion by the US 101 Freeway in the 1950s and the southern section of the Park where the tennis courts and baseball field are located. Prior to its designation in 2002, this area was also called the Temple-Beaudry corridor.
