Local city information for Lake Los Angeles, CA
Lake Los Angeles is a census-designated place (CDP) in Los Angeles County, California, United States. The population was 11,523 at the 2000 census. It is located east of Palmdale's Civic Center.
The region was once called Los Angeles Buttes, since they were the only ones in the northern part of the county.
The film history of the region dates back to 1938. Numerous movies, serials and television series were filmed at Lake Los Angeles for decades. Filmed segments and stock footage of "Bonanza" episodes made at the region include "The Mission", "Gallagher's Sons", "Twilight Town", "Big Shadow on the Land", "The Deed and the Dilemma", "The Oath", "Second Chance" and "Meena".
The eponymous lake is mostly dry today. In 1967, during the 1960s land speculation boom in the Antelope Valley, land developers bought 4,000-acres in the region, sub-divided it into 4,465 lots and artificially refilled the natural lake and named it Lake Los Angeles as an enticement to landbuyers. Advertisements showed a water skier on the lake, and a showcase home on the top of the nearby hill, giving the impression of a resort town. The lake was allowed to evaporate after the initial developers sold their interests. Much of the land was sold to buyers who never visited the area. There are efforts to get the lake filled again but the main obstacle has been funding.
