Clanton 14 Street, also known as C14th St, is the one of the oldest Hispanic criminal street gangs in Los Angeles, California. Clanton 14 were some of the first supporters and founders of La Eme. The Clanton 14 does not represent the 14th letter of the alphabet or show allegiance to Nuestra Familia; it represents 14th Place (formerly Clanton Street) in Los Angeles, California where they were created. As Sureños, they are fiercely loyal to the Mexican Mafia which is why they are allowed to keep the 14 as their sign.[1][2]

History[edit]

Clanton 14 was created in 1921 on Clanton Street in Los Angeles, California. During World War II Los Angeles renamed Clanton Street to 14th Place, for War related industries easy addressing,[3] which is why they are called Clanton 14. (C14ST). The 18th Street gang was the first Hispanic gang to recruit African-Americans as well. Today Clanton 14 and 18th Street are bitter rivals that have left a trail of bloodshed over the decades.[4][verification needed]
