Palos Verdes Peninsula<\/h3>
The Palos Verdes Peninsula (from Spanish Palos Verdes \"Green sticks\") is a landform and a geographic sub-region of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, within southwestern Los Angeles County in the U.S. state of California. Located in the South Bay region, the peninsula contains a group of affluent cities in the Palos Verdes Hills, including Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates. The South Bay city of Torrance borders the peninsula on the north, the Pacific Ocean is on the west and south, and the Port of Los Angeles is east. The population of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is 42,364. \n<\/p>
The peninsula was the homeland of the Tongva-Gabrieli\u00f1o Native Americans people for thousands of years. In other areas of the Los Angeles Basin archeological sites date back 8,000 years.[4][5] Their first contact with Europeans occurred in 1542 with Jo\u00e3o Cabrilho (Juan Cabrillo). Chowigna and Suangna were two Tongva settlements of many in the peninsula area, which was also a departure point for their rancher\u00edas on the Channel Islands.\n<\/p>
In 1846 Jos\u00e9 Dolores Sep\u00falveda and Jos\u00e9 Loreto received a Mexican land grant from Alta California Governor P\u00edo Pico for a parcel from the huge original 1784 Spanish land grant of Rancho San Pedro to Manuel Dominguez.[6] It was named Rancho de los Palos Verdes, or \"ranch of the green sticks\", which was used primarily as a cattle ranch.[7] It was also a whaling station in the mid-19th century, albeit only for a brief period.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
