History General Modern development began after the establishment of the 600-acre (2.4 km2) Pacific Branch of the National Home for Disabled Soldiers and Sailors in the 1880s. A small community sprang up outside that facility's west gate, taking on the name Westgate. Annexed by the city of Los Angeles on June 14, 1916, Westgate's 49 mi2 (130 km2) included large parts of what is now Pacific Palisades and a small portion of today's Bel-Air. Westgate Avenue is one of the last reminders of that namesake. Archer School for Girls maypole tradition Local traditions include a Maypole erected each year on the lawn of The Archer Sc
