~ BARRIO W H I T E x F E N C E ~

This take is from a post from the Homeboy GIBBY on MAY 11, 2004.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~A HISTORY OF THE BARRIO W x F

In the 20s, Boyle Heights was populated by Anglos, Armenians, Jews, Italians and Japanese. Many new Mexican immigrants migrated to California and some of them found their way into communities like Boyle Heights which is in East Los Angeles. The Mexican section of the Boyle Heights, which was very small, was bounded by 4th Street to the north, Whittier Blvd to the south, Euclid Ave to the west and Lorena St to the east. It was a very close knit community. Everybody knew each other from the neighborhood and almost every Mexican family attended the local catholic church which was called La Purissima. La Purissima Church was the heart and focus point of the community. It not only served as a spiritual center but as a social center as well. The leaders of the Church sponsored an athletic club to foster brotherhood and friendship among the Mexican/Chicano minority members within the community.

During the 1920s and 30s there was a lot of racism and violence towards Chicanos and Mexican immigrants in the Boyle Heights area. School aged children were regularly harassed and bullied by members of the larger ethnic groups. Working men did not have the ability to defend their children while away from the home and most Police at the time did not care what happened to "lil Mexican kids". The younger boys in the community decided to form a self protection group which would serve as escorts to and from school for their younger brothers and sisters. This group became known as White Fence or The Fence . The name had a dual meaning. Many of the houses in the "Mexican" section of Boyle Heights had White picket Fences along the front portions of homes and walkways plus the City of Los Angles erected a long row of White Fences along Whittier Blvd. Also a Fence is both symbolic and practical as a means of self protection. Another name that was used drung this time was the Comandos.

White Fence began to become a presence on the street corners of Boyle Heights. There were many clashes and bloodshed through out the streets of Boyle Heights during these times. The original group or "OGs" were very successful in assuring that no children would become victims of random acts of violence at the hands of other ethnic groups. As time passed they began to rival with other chicano groups that sprouted up in various parts of Los Angeles. Some of the other "clubs" had names like Alpine St, East Side Clover, Macy St, Primer Flats, Clantone St, Diamond St, and EL Hoyo Maravilla.

During the next couple of years White Fence slowly moved from self protection group, to aggressive barrio gang. By 1939 The Los Angeles Times was writing articles about the "White Fence Gang" which murdered 2 males and left their bodies along Whittier Blvd. White Fence was one of the barrios in Los Angeles to actively participate in the Zoot Suit Riots and target marines and sailors that invaded the barrios to victimize "Mexicans " in "Zoot Suits" who were deemed foreigners and unpatriotic. This was from 1942-43. White Fence is still a very active barrio and is well respected in the streets and prison system. Many things have changed in the neighborhood since the early days in the 1920s till now. The neighborhood, WF, has been featured in many movies, books, documentaries, videos etc. Much of the modern "gangster style" (Dress, Graffiti, Slang, Style) originated in the White Fence barrio. White Fence has other clicks in Hollywood, Bell Gardens, Alhambra, San Gabriel Valley, Las Vegas, El Paso and Florida. I was a very active member of White Fence The Hole Locos during the late 80s and early 90s. I believe the initial intentions were a very positive and necessary move. I am not attempting to glamorize the hood or gangbanging but present an accurate picture of real and true barrio history.

The tinies moved from the Eastside to the Westside and WS started between 74 and 76. The Westside Tinies hung in Tiny Alley near Echo Park and also a tall hill in an industrial area that reminded them of the Eastside's Blueberry Hill which the Westside named (their new hill) Blueberry Hill also. The locos came out of this and spread to Hollywood.

Lil Spiders came out in 89 not 74
No Winitos. Before forming the WF Tiny Locos those youngsters claimed Winos13. That was in the mid 80s though.
They left out Monstro Locos,The Hill,The Hole Locos,Malos, Alley Locos.
The dates are wrong too

Orale, esta firme vato.

Can you continue on with the historia on the expansion to the West Side?

The WF West Siders from the time of the mid-70's, started off an expansion trend by some East Side Varrios such as VKKR & ALCP,
therefore I'm interested in that time period.

I never asked those vatos from LiL West Side, if they were in any way affiliated with "LES". Sure wish I could go back in time, If I only knew then.

This was a period when West Siders were also trying to establish on the East Side of the river, but with the exception of a few like WF & 18ST, most others failed.

I dont know all the details on how West Side White Fence started. From what I do know it was started by the Tinies clicka from the East Side which some moved to Echo Park bewteen 74-76. The were around where WS Crazys up off Alvarado. Im not sure when they moved to East Hollywood but it was by 80 for sure. I knew a couple vets from the WS but havent seen any of them in years. I actually seen a couple vatos a lil older than me from the WS this weekend and if I run into them agin Ill try to get the scoop

I think he means a local gang that was just called Sur 13. There've been a couple of those down through the years.

Unread post by **youngwun** » April 29th, 2006, 1:36 pm

Yep, thats what I mean. SUR13 is a gang in Hollywood thats located right by WF & LMLS. They are always crossing eachother out, SUR13 & WF that is. I've seen "Fuck Surdogs" numerous times in WF hood.
