All About the Port of Los Angeles
The Port of Los Angeles is located in the San Pedro Bay, in the San Pedro neighborhood of Los Angeles, approximately 20 miles south of downtown. People have been using the bay since 1542, but wasn't until 1912 that the first major wharf was completed. It soon became the world's busiest seaport. In the 1930's, a massive expansion of the port was completed. During World War II, the port was used for ship building and employed more than 90, 000 people. After the war, the port shifted to container shipment. The L.A.
