The Mar Vista community of Los Angeles was born out of Ocean Park Heights, a community named for its geographic location in relation to the beach area then known as Ocean Park.
By 1905 Ocean Park included both developer Abbot Kinney’s Venice of America, now Venice, and what became the Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica.
Ocean Park Heights was developed at the start of the 20th Century on land traversed by the Los Angeles Pacific Railway, which ran from downtown Los Angeles to the beach.
On March 5th, 1927, Mar Vista became the 70th community to be annexed to Los Angeles.
This year, Mar Vista is celebrating the 80th anniversary of that annexation and residents say they are proud to see their community reach that milestone.
“I think it’s to the community’s benefit,” resident and Mar Vista Farmers Market president Lorraine Wells said of the anniversary celebration. “To celebrate 80 years of a community is fantastic.”
The community is marking the 80th anniversary in conjunction with the first anniversary of the Mar Vista Farmers Market with a celebration Sunday, August 5th.
The event, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Grand View Boulevard, between Venice Boulevard and Mitchell Avenue, will include musicians, poets and dancers, as well as food from Mar Vista’s varied cultures.
“I think it’s to the community’s benefit,” resident and Mar Vista Farmers Market president Lorraine Wells said of the anniversary celebration. “To celebrate 80 years of a community is fantastic.”
The Mar Vista Farmers Market, brought to the community for the first time last year, has also been a key factor for identity, residents say.
“The farmers market has given us a sense of community and brought the community together,” Wells said.
