Clanton 14th Street

Clanton 14th Street is a predominately Hispanic gang originally from Los Santos eastside. The original Clanton varrio started in the early 1920s on Clanton Street which was located between Las Colinas and East Los Santos. During the early 1950s the city decided to change the name of Clanton Street to 14th Place in an effort to discourage the Hispanic gang from continuing their gang activities. There was the Sleepy Lagoon murder of Clanton member Jose Diaz in 1942 and the shooting of Clanton member Frank Torres in 1942 at the coliseum and then the Zoot Suit Riots in 1943 which were connected to gang / pachuco activity in the area. After the street name change, the neighborhood just embraced the new street, 14th Place, and added 14th Street to their name.

People have falsely identified Clanton 14 as a Norteño gang from Northern Cali Los Santos, but the 14th has been used with this gang since about 1952 or 1953 representing 14th Street not Northern California. Although Clanton are a Sureño gang, they have never identified with the number 13 in their graffiti. Many Southsider gangs have been identifying with the 13 since the early 1960s. Clanton is not alone in this regard as several other gangs from Los Angeles also do not identify with the 13, such as Choppers 12, East Side Clover, Primera Flats, White Fence, 18th Street, 38th Street and several others. This original eastside varrio has split into distinct areas in recent years. On the north side Clanton occupies the area mostly within Hillside Ave in Las Colinas. To the south they occupy the area between Jefferson (east) to Main Street (west) from 30th Street (north) to 36th Street (south). Eastside Clanton is a much smaller turf today than the one they controlled during the 1960s and 1970s but its location is still consistent with the core area they originally covered.

Clanton 14 Street graffiti from Los Santos. The 14 represents 14th street, not Northern Side San Andreas or Nortenos.

Although Clanton is from Southern Los Santos, they never include the number 13 in their graffiti.
