The County is rich in cultural diversity and home to world-renowned museums, theaters, the motion picture industry, major universities and numerous five-star restaurants. The mountains, deserts, and the beautiful Pacific Ocean, along with some of the world's finest urban recreational attractions, are freeway close.
The County of Los Angeles is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors who are elected on a non-partisan basis and serve four-year terms. As the governing body, the Board of Supervisors serves as both the executive and legislative authority of the largest and most complex county government in the United States.
