George L. Crenshaw was a banker and real estate developer who built several upscale residential developments in mid-city Los Angeles in the early 1900s. Among these was Lafayette Square and Wellington Square. The Crenshaw district of Los Angeles and its principal thoroughfare, Crenshaw Boulevard, bear his name.〔Alvaro Parra, ("Crenshaw Boulevard: Cruising Through the Decades" ) ''KCET,'' October 23, 2014.〕〔Matea Gold, ("Proposal Not Music to His Ears: Piano-playing grandson of the developer of Crenshaw Boulevard opposes plan to rename the street for late Mayor Tom Bradley." ) ''Los Angeles Times'', June 25, 2003.〕 ==LaFayette== After the First World War, Los Angeles was a town that was looking for an uptick in population. Around the turn of the twentieth century, there was a large oil boom in southern California: Between the extraordinary climate that California had to offer and the rich resources that was able to provide jobs to the oil and agricultural industries, the state experienced great population booms. In Los Angeles, Crenshaw had invested in and oversaw ten residential real estate ventures to help satiate the growth; one of the new neighborhoods would become Lafayette Square in Los Angeles.
