In March 1881, after overwhelming campaigning by Los Angeles inhabitants, the California State Legislature approved the production of a southern branch of the California State Normal School (which later got to be San Jose State University) in downtown Los Angeles to prepare educators for the developing populace of Southern California. The State Normal School at Los Angeles opened on August 29, 1882, on what is presently the site of the Central Library of the Los Angeles Public Library framework. The new office incorporated a grade school where instructors in-preparing could rehearse their showing strategy on youngsters. That grade school is identified with the present day variant, UCLA Lab School. In 1887, the school got to be known as the Los Angeles State Normal School. 

In 1914, the school moved to another grounds on Vermont Avenue (now the site of Los Angeles City College) in East Hollywood. In 1917, UC Regent Edward Augustus Dickson, the main official speaking to the Southland at the time, and Ernest Carroll Moore, Director of the Normal School, started cooperating to campaign the State Legislature to empower the school to end up the second University of California grounds, after UC Berkeley. They met resistance from UC Berkeley graduated class, Northern California individuals from the state council, and Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California from 1899 to 1919, who were all energetically contradicted to the possibility of a southern grounds. Be that as it may, David Prescott Barrows, the new President of the University of California, did not share Wheeler's protests.

The Southern Branch grounds opened on September 15 of that year, offering two-year undergrad projects to 250 Letters and Science understudies and 1,250 understudies in the Teachers College, under Moore's proceeded with course.

Under University of California President William Wallace Campbell, enlistment at the Southern Branch extended so quickly that by the mid-1920s the establishment was exceeding the 25 section of land Vermont Avenue area.

Around the same time, the state kicked things off in Westwood ashore sold for $1 million, short of what 33% its worth, by land engineers Edwin and Harold Janss, for whom the Janss Steps are named.
