Lincoln Heights: Rich in History and Heritage An exciting renaissance is currently underway in Lincoln Heights and Puerta del Sol, together with the entire Avenue 26 development, are at the heart of city plans for the rediscovery of this vibrant community. First known as East Los Angeles, Lincoln Heights has a rich and illustrious history. Early pioneering settlements began in the 1880s when German and Irish immigrants used the area for grazing sheep. However, thanks to an enterprising street car system, by 1910 the area had evolved into a fashionable residential neighborhood and, interestingly enough, one of the southland’s first suburbs. In 1914, with the construction of Lincoln High School, the name was changed to a more prestigious-sounding Lincoln Heights. Over the years, the area produced a number of colorful attractions. Conveniently served by US Route 99, thousands of visitors motored their way to Lincoln Heights, making the rounds of the once-famous ostrich and alligator farms, the Selig Zoo and Movie Studio (where the first Tarzan movie was made), and Lincoln Park Stadium. Although the area has evolved over the decades, and the wild animals and movies are gone, vestiges of its late 19 th and early 20 th century prominence remain in the area’s many examples of Victorian, Craftsman and Bungalow architecture.
