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. As the city expanded to the north and west, the 6th District's boundaries gradually shifted in those directions, but in 2002 the boundaries of the entire district were lifted out of West Los Angeles and transferred to the San Fernando Valley, as was the then-representative, Ruth Galanter, who protested the suddenness of the move.
