Cypress Park is a densely populated, 82.1% Latino neighborhood of 10,000+ residents in Northeast Los Angeles, California. It is the site of the Rio de Los Angeles State Park and other recreational facilities. It hosts one private and four public schools. The area was settled as a Spanish rancho which, after the Mexican-American War, became the property of an American landowner. After his death, Cypress Park was subdivided and established as a community in 1882. There are four Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments.
