The district was created in 1925 after a new city charter was passed, which replaced the former "at large" voting system for a nine-member council with a district system with a 15-member council. The original district was mapped at its origin in 1925 in the West Adams district of Los Angeles, but over the years its boundaries have been shifted west and north in keeping with the city's population changes.
