Welcome to Los Angeles


County of Los Angeles Official Seal

The Goddess Pomona-- the goddess of gardens and fruit trees -- is holding in her arms a sheaf of grain, an orange, a lemon, an avocado and a few grapes to represent Los Angeles County's agriculture.

She stands on the shore of the Pacific Ocean with the San Gabriel Mountains in her background.

The engineering instruments -- the triangle and the caliper -- relate to the industrial construction complex of our county and Los Angeles' vital contribution to the conquest of space.

The Spanish galleon is the San Salvador, which Cabrillo sailed into San Pedro Harbor on October 8, 1542.

The tuna represents the fishing industry of Los Angeles county and the championship cow is for the dairy industry. Pearlette is her name.

The Hollywood Bowl indicates the cultural activities, with the two stars representing our County's motion  picture and television industry.

The cross represents the influence of the church and the missions of California.

Oil derricks are symbolic of the oil fields which were discovered on Signal Hill.

.The words "County of Los Angeles California" surround the seal.

(The County seal was designed by former Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, drawn by Millard Sheets and adopted by the Board of Supervisors March 1, 1957.)
