You may ride, drive, bike, run and walk your L.A. streets, but do you know the history behind L.A. street names?

The Street Names of Los Angeles A History is a series of videos presented by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, featuring historic photographs and documents from the Seaver Center for Western History Research.
