About Me
Layout by CoolChaserFlorencia 13 is a large Chicano street gang (sureño) in South Los Angeles, with hundreds possibly thousands of active and inactive members (with generations of family members). Florencia 13, like most large gangs, is divided into dozens of sets (subgroups of a bigger gang). Among them are The 64st locos, 85st, Bagos, Malditos, Malos, Locos, Tiny locos, Night owls, Gangsters, Holmes st, Midnites, The klan, denker boys, Neighborhood, Dukes, Dream Boys, Jokers, Tokers, Lil rascals, Asesinos, and Termites. The gang is sometimes mistakenly believed to be named after Florence Avenue, running east and west through south Los Angeles; in fact, the gang's namesake comes from the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, known as Florence. The gangs turf stretches from Crenshaw blvd. on the west side to Eastern Blvd. in Bell Gardens and from 57th st to 95th Street and their are some of Florencianos in Long Beach. Florencia 13 is one the oldest, respected and feared gangs and has the biggest turf of all Los Angeles gangs. Their main rivals are 18 street, 38 street, Mara Salvatrucha (MS 13) Grape St Watts (along with most sureño Watts gangs: Morton Town, SSWatts, etc.), The Bratz(TBZ 13)cyclones13 in Huntington park, East Coast Crips, Lynwood City based gangs, Street Saints (South Central Los Angeles) . They also feud with most black gangs and other smaller gangs. ALL DAY People riding the Metro Blue Line can usually spot Florecia13 graffiti between Firestone Ave. and Slauson Ave. Florencia 13 also has a prescence in Mexico and other states Salt Lake County, Utah [1], as well as a reported set in Washington state. South Side Florencia is the biggest, most feared and respected gang in SLA. They have always been adamant about their allegiance to the South Side, and have refused to claim any other side no matter where they live or where they expand to. They have usually been against any barrio claiming another side and especially West Side. Florencia allegedly started near Florence and Atlantic and at one point actually owned all of Florence street from Inglewood to Santa Fe Springs. They are very large and have many cliques throughout SLA in South Gate, Paramount, Downey, Bellflower and more. They too have clicked up other gangs and crews to their ranks. Recently they started a clique in Hollywood and are claiming West Side of all things. It was only a matter of time before they they decided to expand like 18st. Florencia and 18st have long been rivals but the situation got worse when 18 started a South Side around the late 80s. It is now considered by some to be larger in numbers than Florencia. This may be so but it is the least organized of all the 18st sides and is spread out alot. Florencia has been losing ground to many barrios in SLA, especially in the South Central region where a myriad gangs popped up over night. The old 38st has taken most of the western territory of Florencia and Barrio Mojados wich is nearly gone. Florencia too has many cliques outside of LA but theres are mainly towards Orange County. They may be the largest LA gang in Orange County. They also have cliques in Las Vegas and I heard in Oakland. They are the largest LA gang in Mexico city where they are neighbored by other LA gangs like 18st and even Mara
