Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
the East LA, NELA and Downtown projects have all had the same dominant gang since the projects were built. Other gangs have come and gone in those projects but the founding gangs have lasted. In other parts of LA the situation is more complicated. Particularly SCLA and Watts. The projects there were built in the 40's but verified gang history only goes back to the late 50's. It seems likely there was some kind of gang presence from the start but gang history in that part of town gets fuzzy if you go back before 1955 or so.
Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
^Maybe changing demographics...and political/social changes. SCLA/Compton/Watts had a white presence back in the 50's. I believe it is documented and mentioned on here that a lot of the older ELA/Boyle Heights gangs have an Irish or white presence when formed...kind of a union that was taken over by the Chicanos. The 60's was a big political/social change for Blacks in this city/state/country.

es la ob came out around similar time as abz and trg. mid 80's or so.
cambodian refugee surge 80's saw them going to 4 spots in l.a.
east side long beach, pueblo del rio, valerio gardens in van nuys and chinatown. before 80's cambodians usually settled in the OC, after mid 80's it was those 4 spots.
hence trg started in santa ana and became big in LB.
olb chinatown, la ob in the pueblos.
ab was in 3 of the 4. abs in valerio, abi in chinatown and abz in long beach.

Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
SFV was the hardest PJ to get info about. But I'm pretty sure Pacoima Project Boys are named for and are found in the SFV projects. Pacas Flasts is definitely the oldest gang in there, though.judastaugamma wrote:ppb was in san fernando gardens?Silencioso wrote:San Fernando Gardens: Pacoima/Pacas Flats (60's - present?)

Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
aliso village was a clusterfuck of gangs.. tmc being one of them.. i think 80s to present or at least to when they were torn down. primera flats, tmc, al capone, clarence st, east cost 1st st. and i have heard of aliso brim but dont know if it was anything official.. theres a old school east LA black dude named green eyes from aliso village that claims aliso brim.
there were blacks in ramona gardens but i never heard of them ever claiming a gang. its always been hazard since before they were even built.
dana strand was west side wilmas not eastside.
pico gardens has always just been just cuatro but that old black dude green eyes told me there was a pico piru there in the 70s.
hacienda village boys has village boys 13 which i assume been there a long time.. like 70's to present. and hacienda village bloods.
dont know if pacoima piru claims the san fernando gardens but they do have a presence there. are those the only projects in pacoima? the van nuys and peirce ones are just apts right?
theres pjs in north long beach but i dont know who claimes them.
estrada courts always just been vne
maravilla real projects i think theyre called or nuevo maravilla maybe? has rock maravilla, high times maravilla, raskals maravilla and project maravilla
a whole lot of other gangs claim projects but theyre just apartment complexes.
harbor city projects had harbor city crip and harbor city rifa.

Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
Are you sure Watts Village Boys have been around that long? I don't think there were that many Mexican gangs in Watts back then, basically just WCW, F13, Elm St. Watts, WVG and maybe Hickory St. and S/S Watts 13.282828 wrote:aliso village was a clusterfuck of gangs.. tmc being one of them.. i think 80s to present or at least to when they were torn down. primera flats, tmc, al capone, clarence st, east cost 1st st. and i have heard of aliso brim but dont know if it was anything official.. theres a old school east LA black dude named green eyes from aliso village that claims aliso brim.

Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
Jordan Downs Crips (1970s to 1982)
W.V.Gst Crips (1982-1987)
Grape St Watts (1987-present)
W.V.Gst (s/s) were never a the projects a gang.
Their territory were the Streets, the surrounding blocks.
Mar Vista Gardens had Crips in there since the 70s into the 90s, then Culver City took all the way over.
Culver City Insane Crips
South Side Venice Shoreline Crips (70s til the 90s)

Venice Shorelines been in Mar Vista Gardens since the 1970s.
Thats their Southside Click. (s/s V.S.L.C)
They used to go by Culver City Insane Crips.
in the 80s, the Shorelines ran the dhow in the projects.
Culver City 13 control a stretch of apartments on Slauson, outside the Ptojects, Slauson Boys Click.
Culver City Boys/13 took full control of the projects in the mid/late-90s.

Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
Pacioma Pirus were in San Fernando Gardens & the aoartments called the Nams in the 1980s. They aint in neither no more.
Blacks got removed from all L.A projects by demographics, Housing Authority and in cases a lot of cases through Chicano Gangs that came to dominate.
Even the Projects that used to be 99% Black in Watts are now 75% Latino now.

Re: L.A. Housing project gang history
The Village Boys are new. I give them the 1990s.
Im guessing they might be a break away click from the Original Hacienda Village Bloods. Mexican Bloods from HVB that fell weak to Racial Politics in the System and switched up and created a Sureno click out of their Original Gang.
WC90s (WC.R-90/NHC) had a gang of Mexicans that broke off and form SS90 (Noventas).
WVGst Crips of the 1980s had a similar situation. The Mexicans fell into racial lines and the gang got split into s/s WVGst (Mexicans) & e/s WVGst Crips (Blacks). The Mexican WVGs were Cripn in the 80s with their Black Homeboys. They went from Cholos to Crips then back to Cholos.
Samething with the C14s in the 60s. They came as Cholos, but turn Crips as RSC14st, then went bsck to bring cholos when they hit the joint.
Anyways, think VBS f rll aling those lines, ex-Bloods from HVB turned VBS.
