Los Angeles's 10th City Council district

Los Angeles's 10th City Council district is one of the fifteen districts in the Los Angeles City Council. It is currently represented by Democrat Heather Hutt since 2022, after previous member Herb Wesson was barred from serving on an interim basis in place of suspended member Mark Ridley-Thomas.

The district was created in 1925 after a new city charter was passed, which replaced the former "at large" voting system for a nine-member council with a district system with a 15-member council. The district has occupied the same general area since it was formed in 1925. With the city's changes in population, its western boundary has moved farther west and its southern boundary farther south. In 1961, San Fernando Valley residents for a time backed an unsuccessful plan to move the 10th District seat to the Valley after it was left vacant with the resignation of Council Member Charles Navarro.

Geography
The district comprises all or parts of Arlington Heights, Koreatown, Mid-City, Palms, South Robertson, West Adams, and Wilshire Center.

The district is completely within California's 37th congressional district and California's 28th State Senate district, and overlaps California's 57th, 61st, and 55th State Assembly districts.

Historical boundaries
At its creation, it was bounded on Pico Boulevard, Washington Boulevard and Jefferson Boulevard, Alameda Street; and Vermont Avenue. A year later, it was moved to bound Jefferson Boulevard and Central Avenue. In 1933, it was at Pico Boulevard, Jefferson Boulevard and Exposition Boulevard, Hooper Avenue, and Vermont Avenue. In 1955, it had the "south-central section of the city, extending roughly from Wilshire Blvd. to Jefferson Blvd., and from La Brea Ave. to Main St."

By the 1960s, Baldwin Hills had been given to the 6th district and the 10th district covered "the general area known as the West Adams section."

In 1973, it included "parts of the Leimert Park, Crenshaw, Wilshire, West Adams, and Fairfax areas." In 1986, the Los Angeles Times showed the district reaching Beverly Boulevard on the northeast, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on the south, Sepulveda Boulevard on the west and Wilshire Boulevard on the north. In 1993, it stretched "from Palms to Koreatown and South Los Angeles." In 2020, it stretched from Koreatown to Crenshaw Boulevard, including West Adams and Mid-City.
