LaFayette Square, an affluent community in the central region of Los Angeles, was founded in 1913 by developer George LaFayette Crenshaw. It is named after the French Marquis who fought alongside colonists in the American Revolution. It sits just off of Crenshaw Boulevard in the Mid-City area. It was designated by the city as a Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone in 2000 for its significant residential architecture and history. LaFayette Square is regarded as one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the Central LA region, along with Hancock Park and Windsor Square. In addition to its significant architecture and large homes, the neighborhood is also notable for its central location to the entire city – an important incentive for many residents.
