Jefferson location

Jefferson is a district slightly to the northeast of the city center of Los Santos, San Andreas. North of Jefferson is Las Colinas, while to the south are Idlewood and Ganton. West of Jefferson is Glen Park, while to the east is East Los Santos.

Character

Most of southern and central Jefferson consists of small, single-family houses along with a church and the County General Hospital. To the north, a collection of stores with a large car park in addition to the Jefferson Motel can be found. Jefferson is predominantly African-American, though other pedestrians can be found. The area is more of a poor district with a high crime rate, with numerous one-story houses and a few businesses.

Events of GTA San Andreas

Jefferson is a stronghold for the Rollin' Heights set of the Ballas, who use the area as a base from which to attack Ganton, the main stronghold for the Grove Street Families. Jefferson plays a small role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, although the mission Reuniting the Families largely takes place in Jefferson. During the mission, the individual families within the Grove Street Families meet in order to call a truce, although the meeting is ambushed by the LSPD. Carl Johnson, Sean "Sweet" Johnson, Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris and Lance "Ryder" Wilson then drive through the area, successfully avoiding arrest.

Influence

Jefferson is modeled after the residential district of Watts in Los Angeles. The Jefferson Towers, the area based on the Watts Towers can also be found here, despite the towers being in the official zone of East Los Santos. Likewise, despite being based on Watts for the most part, many of the famous and dangerous housing projects of Watts actually appear in other neighborhoods in GTA: San Andreas - including Nickerson Gardens, Imperial Courts, and the Jordan Downs Housing Projects which each appear in Willowfield, Ganton and Idlewood respectively.

Gang Control

It is a stronghold for the Ballas, specifically the Rollin' Heights Balla set during part of 1992, with the exception of the County General Hospital, as it is used by all Los Santos-based gangs. Jefferson, if the player chooses, can become Grove Street Families territory or the player can opt to leave the area in the control of the original Jefferson sets.
