Historical boundaries

The district has occupied the same general area since it was formed in 1925. With the city's changes in population, though, its western boundary has moved farther west and its southern boundary farther south. In 1961, San Fernando Valley residents for a time backed an unsuccessful plan to move the 10th District seat to the Valley after it was left vacant with the resignation of Council Member Charles Navarro.[6]

The rough boundaries or descriptions have been as follows:

1925: North, Pico Boulevard or 11th Street; south, Washington Boulevard and Jefferson Boulevard; east, Alameda Street; west, Vermont Avenue.[7][8]

1926: North, Pico Boulevard; south, Jefferson Boulevard; east, Central Avenue; west, Vermont Avenue.[9]

1932–33: North, Pico Boulevard; south, Jefferson Boulevard and Exposition Boulevard; east, Hooper Avenue (two blocks west of Alameda); west, Vermont Avenue.[10][11]

1955: In the "south-central section of the city, extending roughly from Wilshire Blvd. to Jefferson Blvd., and from La Brea Ave. to Main St."[12]

1960: Baldwin Hills was shifted from the 10th District to the 6th District.[13]

1961: Covers "the general area known as the West Adams section."[14]

1973: Includes "parts of the Leimert Park, Crenshaw, Wilshire, West Adams, and Fairfax areas."[15]

1975: From "Olympic Blvd. on the north, to La Cienega Blvd. and Cattaraugus Ave. on the west, to Rodeo Road and Jefferson and Adams Blvds. on the south, to the Harbor Freeway on the east."[16]

1986: Los Angeles Times map shows district reaching Beverly Boulevard on the northeast, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on the south, Sepulveda Boulevard on the west and Wilshire Boulevard on the north.[17]

1993: Stretches "from Palms to Koreatown and South Los Angeles."[1]

2020: From Koreatown to Crenshaw Boulevard, including West Adams and Mid-City.[18]
