As Black veterans returned home after World War II, some came to Pacoima after learning about the cheap land. Those who moved across the country to California dubbed the suburb the "Joe Louis Homes."

Interesting I never knew this history of Pacoima my family moved there in the late 70's and it was all black at the time, like she said that changed in the mid to late 80's.

The history is divided in fours groups: the Spanish exploration (1542-1769), Mission Period (1769-1834), Mexican Period (1834-1849) and the American Period (1849-present). Basically there were Spanish, Indians and Mexican people living there during their times until the great flood in 1891 and all laborers left. When the Mexicans tried to revive the area, another flood hit in 1938 which caused death, homes being washed away and soil were lost. After WWII Pacoima was reclaimed for living and the blacks started to move into he area and it became a black community. Then the crack epidemic hit in the late 80´s and many people left, today the majority who live there are hispanic.

Mexica people were always here. The Spanish Europeans came. Then English Europeans. And they allowed the Black peoples a corner in in the San Fernando Valley.

The town of Pacoima has a history that dates back more than 1500 years, but very few know about it. Very few know that the Fernandeno-Tataviam tribe has stories and were inhabitants in this area when it was known as Pacoinga Village. This history must be shared and preserved so we can all have a better understanding of where we are today.

I was born in 1946. I lived in Basilone Homes at the base of Hansen Dam until I was 7. It was partly composed of a lot of old navy barracks moved there because so many servicemen stayed in California after the war and there was a big shortage of housing for all the newly formed boomer families. The other veterans housing project in L.A. was Rodger young village in Griffith park which consisted of 750 quonset huts. They were very diverse communities.Both are described in fair detail with photos on the web.

Because Val Verde is older In 1924, the modern settlement was founded by Sidney P. Dones and other investors.[2] It was named Eureka Villa.[3] That settlement was designed as a resort community for African Americans, as in that period, African Americans were frequently barred from public beaches and swimming pools.[4] The town became known as the "Black Palm Springs". By the 1930s, the area was wildly popular, mainly because it was one of only a few places blacks could go for recreation.

Val Verde is a canyon not a suburb... ppl in there had horses and live stock, etc. so what relevance does this have? My Family (the McWright’s) lived there in Val Verde. One small store 🏬 and a park.
