At the time of Spanish settlement, the Los Angeles River turned to the west just south of present-day Bunker Hill , joining Ballona Creek just to the west of its current channel. However, during a major flood in 1825, the Los Angeles River's course changed to its present channel, and Ballona Creek became a completely distinct waterway. All but the last two miles of Ballona Creek were lined with concrete as part of the flood-control project undertaken by the United States Army Corps Of Engineers following the region-wide flooding of 1938.
