Little Ethiopia, Los Angeles, California
- Little Ethiopia, Los Angeles, California
Little Ethiopia refers to the stretch of Fairfax Avenue in the Carthay district of Los Angeles, California between Olympic and Pico Boulevards. The area is filled with Ethiopian businesses and restaurants, as well as a significant concentration of residents of Ethiopian and Eritrean ancestry.
Little Ethiopia dates back to the early 1990s. Previously, this stretch of Fairfax Avenue was filled with Jewish businesses as is the case in the Fairfax District to the north. Ethiopian and Eritrean businesses and restaurants have recently begun congregating on Washington Boulevard between Fairfax Avenue and National Boulevard in Culver City, less than a mile to the south of Little Ethiopia.
For many years, and even today, the neighborhood was recognized as South Fairfax or SoFax. In 2004, former Los Angeles Mayor James K. Hahn officially branded the neighborhood as Little Ethiopia.
