'''Los Santos''' | '''Los Santos''' is a fictional city located in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], and it is the first city encountered in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. Los Santos is the capital of the State of San Andreas. Los Santos is based on [[wikipedia:Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles, California]]. Los Santos translates to 'The Saints', a play on Los Angeles, meaning 'The Angels'. This also applies to the two cities' nicknames - "The City of Saints" and "City of Angels". With all of the street and gang violence, working girls, corrupt cops, and strip clubs/pornography, the name of the city is considered a joke in the game. | ||
Like Los Angeles, Los Santos is a huge, sprawling co-mingling of cultures and perspectives, full of two-bit hoodlums and small-time actors. The population of over 3 million people is divided into 32 districts, which are home to movie and television studios, multi-million dollar estates, crack-ridden ghettos, and a busy international airport. Numerous roads and a central rail line connect Los Santos to [[San Fierro]] and [[Las Venturas]]. The most infamous street in the city is [[Grove Street]], located in [[Ganton]], southeast of downtown Los Santos, and just minutes south of [[East Los Santos]], which, like East Los Angeles, contains a predominantly Hispanic population. Grove Street is home to the [[Grove Street Families]], a once powerful gang whose influence faded due to highly successful drug trafficking by the rival [[Ballas]] gang. | Like Los Angeles, Los Santos is a huge, sprawling co-mingling of cultures and perspectives, full of two-bit hoodlums and small-time actors.
