The Los Angeles Alligator Farm (ca. 1907.) From 1907 until its relocation in 1953, the area of Lincoln Heights was home to what the Los Angeles Times dubbed “the city’s most exotic residents”–a thousand-strong collection of alligators that welcomed visitors every day of the year to see, pose with, and even ride them.
