The historic Olvera Street or Calle Olvera is one of the oldest parts of Downtown Los Angeles. It is part of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument. Founded in 1781, it was originally called Vine Street then in 1877, it was renamed to Olvera Street in honor of Agustin Olvera. In 1930, Olvera Street officially opened as a Mexican Marketplace.
Few blocks away from Olvera Street is the new Chinatown. The old Chinatown was originally located right next to Olvera Street but was demolished to make way for what is now the Union Station.
