Figueroa Street is a street in Los Angeles County, California named for General José Figueroa (1792 – 29 September 1835), governor of Alta California from 1833 to 1835, who oversaw the secularization of the missions of California.
One of the longer streets in the city, it runs in a north/south direction for more than 30 miles (48 km) between the neighborhoods of Wilmington and Eagle Rock of Los Angeles. The southern terminus is at Harry Bridges Boulevard in San Pedro, and its northern terminus at its interchange with the Ventura Freeway west of Pasadena, with a break between Alpine Street in Chinatown and San Fernando Road in Cypress Park.
From its south end at Harry Bridges Boulevard to Downtown Los Angeles, Figueroa Street runs north parallel to the Harbor Freeway (Interstate 110) in South Los Angeles. The only portion of this segment of Figueroa Street that lies outside Los Angeles city limits is in the city of Carson. South of the Financial District, Figueroa Street services some popular locations including the University of Southern California, the Los Angeles Convention Center, and Staples Center/L.A. Live.
