The Angels is a place (Unincorporated Place) in La Salle County in Texas.[1]
Los Angeles is thirteen miles east of Cotulla State Highway 97. The place was founded in 1923 by the F. Z. Bishop Land Company founded. The settlement was named after the Californian city of Los Angeles, because of the pleasant climate in southern California. Los Angeles was due to the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf Railroad and got its own post office in 1923. In 1928, before the Great Depression, about three hundred people lived here, there was a hotel, a shop, a cotton gin, and a school building that also served as a church. With the economic crisis, the number of inhabitants shrank and in 1933 only a hundred people lived in the town. In 1937 the school had to be closed. In 1980 and 1990 there were still 140 inhabitants, in 2000 there were only twenty.[2]
