There were gangs in the ancient world.
Of course
A better question would be: Is there a state that doesn't have gangs? Probably not, I would imagine every state has them. They are literally in all 50 states including Alaska. There are Indian gangs, Black, White and Latino Gangs. Asian Gangs have been around for a long time.
This is impossible to do since at last report there were over 60 active gangs in/around Fresno and Fresno County. One of the most active is the Bull Dog.
Gangs have been around for thousands of years.
I am a local in the city of Stockton and also a former gang member since the early 90's. I can name most of the gangs that were active and non-active. If I have to make an estimate I would have to say there are approximately over 30 gangs in Stockton. 2000- 2012 STOCKTON

Many people think that its cool and quiet in Perris, but look closer that city is tore up and YES there are active gangs in Perris. Black gangs and Mexican gangs On Redlands Ave and all through Nuevo Rd. You have the Perris Crips and Gutta Squad Mafia, but I dont think they're active anymore. Over the bridge downtown Perris is the Perris Locs or Frontline Perris Locs, The mexicans you have the PMVx3 and Perris13 and 7th Street. Go deeper you will see yourself in Mead Valley, home of the Mead Valley Gangster Crips. All in Perris and Moreno Valley, Riverside , Lake Elsinore and even Hemet has active Gangs.
