Tehrangeles ({{lang-fa|تهرانجلس}}), also known as Little Persia, is a portmanteau deriving from the combination of Tehran, the capital of Iran, and Los Angeles. It is used when referring to the large number (estimates range from 300,000 to 1,000,000) of Iranian-Americans and their descendants residing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area after the 1979 Revolution left many families displaced; it is the largest such population outside Iran.[1][2][3][4] The intersection of Westwood Boulevard and Wilkins Avenue is now officially recognized by the City of Los Angeles as Persian Square.[5] OriginPersian businesses in the L.A. area originally centered in the Westwood neighborhood of the Westside. Iranian-owned businesses are particularly prevalent on Westwood Boulevard between Wilshire Boulevard (in Westwood) to Pico Boulevard (in West L.A.). Often referred to as Persian Hills/Persian Square, it is between Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles. Immigration to the area increased several-fold due to the events surrounding the 1979 Revolution in Iran. [6] Westwood Boulevard became known for its many Persian shops and restaurants; and the Iranian expatriate community of Los Angeles entered all forms of media including magazines, newspapers, radio, and television stations. DistributionAs the population has grown, Iranians and their American-born children count as home neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles, which includes Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Encino, and Beverly Hills, as well as the city of Irvine and elsewhere in Orange County.[7] They have also made their homes in San Diego and the Palm Springs area of the Coachella Valley. Popular cultureIn 2012, Bravo began broadcasting the series Shahs of Sunset, set in the Iranian community in LA. In 2018 the novel Tehrangeles, a romantic comedy set in the community, was published.
