Title supplied by cataloger. The part of the city called 'Sonora Town' was an old adobe village north of the Plaza and Church of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels. It was Los Angeles' first Mexican quarters, or barrio. The area was named for the numerous miners and families who came from Sonora, Mexico, and may have still been around in the 1930s. Now it is Los Angeles' Chinatown District. Elevated and panoramic view from behind a church looking out over Sonora Town with a scattering of dwellings and businesses throughout. Sonora town was located North of La Plaza Church. Photograph dated 1869.
