Venice is a residential, commercial,
and recreational beachfront neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles in the Westside
region of Los Angeles County. Venice, originally called "Venice of
America," was founded by tobacco millionaire Abbot Kinney in 1905 as a
beach resort town, 14 miles west of Los Angeles. He and his partner Francis
Ryan had bought two miles of oceanfront property south of Santa Monica in 1891. Source
