"Historically, the Fairfax District has been a center of the city's Jewish community. In the early 20th century, looking for new housing and fleeing an increasing influx of immigrants from Mexico, middle class Jewish families moved west from Boyle Heights, City Terrace, East Los Angeles and Montebello to the area around Fairfax Avenue, a street they lined with Kosher delis, restaurants, butcher's and baker's shops and fish markets, creating a unique village in the heart of the city."
