Tehrangeles , also known as Little Persia, is a portmanteau deriving from the combination of Tehran, the capital of Iran, and Los Angeles.
It is used when referring to the large number of Iranian-Americans and their descendants residing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area after the 1979 Revolution left many families displaced; it is the largest such population outside Iran. The intersection of Westwood Boulevard and Wilkins Avenue is recognized by the City of Los Angeles as Persian Square.
A Persian community originally centered in the Westwood neighborhood of the Westside in the 1960s. Immigration to the area increased several-fold due to the events surrounding the 1979 Revolution in Iran. Westwood Boulevard became known for its many Persian shops and restaurants; and the Iranian expatriate community of Los Angeles entered all forms of media including magazines, newspapers, radio, and television stations.
