San Pedro

 
San Pedro, 25mi/40km from the city center, is indeed a part of Los Angeles, but is often regarded as an independent district. A start was made on developing this natural harbor in the 1880s. It was completed towards the end of the century, but not until 1909 did it form a part of Los Angeles with which it is linked by a narrow corridor.
