I always wondered if that area of LA, the oil patch of North LA, just borrowed names of TX oil towns. You've got Vivian and Oil City which are both TX towns. Then you have Rodesssa and Hosston, where they appear to changed/add a couple letters and hope nobody notices.

I haven't verified this but was told that the names of the communities of Vivian, Myrtis and Rodessa were the names of the daughters of the the railroad roadmaster when the first rail came to the area.
