Eagle Rock

Eagle Rock is a neighborhood of Northeast Los Angeles, located between the cities of Glendale and Pasadena, abutting the San Rafael Hills in Los Angeles County, California.
Eagle Rock is named after a large rock whose shadow resembles an eagle with its wings outstretched. Eagle Rock was once part of the Rancho San Rafael under Spanish and Mexican governorship. In 1911, Eagle Rock was incorporated as a city, and in 1923 it combined with the City of Los Angeles.

Today, it is an ethnically diverse, relatively high-income neighborhood —the latter of which has risen in part due to the gentrification of Northeast Los Angeles that began in the 2000s and picked up in the 2010s. The neighborhood is known for being the home of Occidental College and for a counterculture element among its 34,000 residents. Eagle Rock maintains a number of historically significant buildings and has a connection with the motion picture industry.
