The story
Eagle Rock, L.A. Historic-Cultural Monument No. 10, is a large dome-shaped rock formation with an indentation that resembles an eagle in flight. The neighborhood of Eagle Rock, where the rock is located is named after the rock. Once known as Eagle Rock Valley, it incorporated in 1911 and was annexed by Los Angeles in 1923. Given its visibility from the Ventura Freeway, CA-134, Eagle Rock is a familiar sight to millions.
