History

Llano is a name derived from Spanish meaning "plain".^[1]

Llano was once the home of English writer Aldous Huxley.^{[citation needed]}

At the turn of the 20th century, there were socialist colonies in Llano, the most notable being Job Harriman's Llano del Rio commune, launched in 1914.^{[citation needed]} The ruins of Llano del Rio are still extant along Highway 138 east of 165th Street East. The socialist community moved and Llano del Rio was abandoned in 1918, leaving behind the "ghost" of an alternative future for Los Angeles.^[2]
