There has never been a total solar eclipse in the City of Los Angeles. However, there was a solar eclipse on September 10, 1923 which was visible in Lompoc and San Diego, but the path of totality was about 10 miles offshore at Los Angeles.
On May 22, 1724 there was a solar eclipse that covered the area that would later become Los Angeles. However, the early Spanish pueblo that would become Los Angeles was not established until 50 years later.

The next lunar eclipse will take place between 1:30 and 4:00 AM Eastern time
on the morning of December 21, 2010. It's a total eclipse, visible throughout the
The next solar eclipse will occur two weeks later, between 1:40 and 6:00 AM Eastern
time on the morning of January 4, 2011. It's a partial eclipse, visible in parts of Europe,
north Africa, and Central Asia.
The next solar eclipse visible in North America will also be a partial, occurring between
2:00 and 6:10 PM Eastern time on June 1, 2011. Beginning at about 4:45 PM Eastern
time, the sun will appear 20% or less eclipsed over an area beginning in western Alaska,
moving eastward across northern Canada and Hudson's Bay, and ending in Labrador
and Newfoundland about 1-1/2 hours later.
The depends on many things. Are you talking about a total solar eclipse or annular (partial) solar eclipse? There is going to be a total solar eclipse this year, but almost all of it is going to be taking place over an ocean. Be a little more specific and I can help more.
There are generally two lunar eclipses per year, but sometimes instead of one "real" eclipse we see two "penumbral" eclipses a month apart. That's what happened in 2009; 3 penumbrals and one partial. Penumbral eclipses are generally not visible without specialized equipment.
The last visible lunar eclipse was an 80% partial eclipse on August 21, 2008, visible from India, parts of Asia north of India, and most of Africa. The next visible eclipse will be another partial eclipse on December 31, 2009 but will only be 7%; people in India and Russia MIGHT notice it, but if they blink they'll miss it.
The next total lunar eclipse will be on December 21, 2010, and will be perfectly placed for most of the North America, but especially California or Hawaii.
As of today (July 12, 2009), the last eclipse was an annular solar eclipse on January 26.
The next one will be a total solar eclipse, visible in southern and Eastern Asia, western and central Pacific, on the night of July 21-22.
The next solar eclipse will occur on July 22, 2009. It will be spectacularly visible across a path from northern India to Shanghai, China and across the Pacific Ocean.
There are usually two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Depending on the geometry, there are sometimes four partial eclipses instead. 2009 is such a year for lunar eclipses; one partial lunar eclipse and three penumbral lunar eclipses, none of which will be particularly visible. The next good lunar eclipse will be in December 2010.
Today is July 2, 2011. The last eclipse was yesterday; a VERY partial solar eclipse, visible only in the oceans near Antarctica. I don't think anyone noticed, actually. The "next" eclipse will be another partial solar eclipse on November 25, 2011, visible in Antarctica, much of the southern Indian ocean, and the southern tips of Africa and Tazmania.
On December 10, 2011, there will be a total lunar eclipse visible across most of Asia and Australia; it will be slightly visible as a partial lunar eclipse in the far-western USA.
See the NASA Eclipse Web Page for a catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD.
As of June 2009
On July 22nd 2009 over Asia and China.

__________________________ The NASA Eclipse Web Site at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html will let you look up the details of any eclipse past or future between 2000 BC and 3000 AD. Today July 22 2009 there was a total solar eclipse that could be seen in southern Asia (China, Bangladesh, India, etc). the next total solar eclipse will be on the 11th of July 2010. It will be visible over the South Pacific including Easter Island. Only a small portion of the path of totality touches any continent (sunset in southernmost Chile) see: http://eclipses.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEplot/SEplot2001SE2010Jul11T.GIF
The next total eclipse of the sun is on November 13, 2012. Totally visibility will be in northern Australia and the southern Pacific Ocean.
The last total solar eclipse for Dallas was Feb 20th 2008
For Jerusalem, the last total solar eclipse was on 20th August 993 (Yes 993 not 1993)
There were no total solar eclipses during 2007. There was one total lunar eclipse, one partial lunar eclipse, and two partial solar eclipses.
The last partial eclipse was 10th June 2002 The last total eclipse was 18th July 1860
The total phase of a total solar eclipse is never more than 7 minutes 29 seconds, and you would need to be exactly ON the midpoint of the eclipse track to get that.
September 10, 1923.
The longest duration of a total eclipse is 7 minutes 29 seconds.
Bhutan is right in the path of totality for the total solar eclipse next month, on July 22, 2009. The LAST time Bhutan was in the path of totality was July 9, 1488.
There have been three or four partial eclipses in each decade, but the last TOTAL solar eclipse visible in Atlanta, GA was on June 24, 1778. The NEXT total solar eclipse visible in Atlanta will be on May 11, 2078.
Then the total phase of the eclipse would last longer. Also, it is more likely that there is a total phase at all.
As of the 13th of April 2015, the last solar eclipse in the UK and Ireland was on the 20th of March 2015.
The last total eclipse was the solar eclispe of July 11, 2010; the next will be in November 13, 2012
