History’s Gangland Chronicles explores the world of the Mongols Motorcycle Club, a one-percenter motorcycle club with a reputation as formidable as its name. Founded in Montebello, California, in 1969, the club’s logo features a Harley-Davidson motorcycle ridden by a member of Genghis Khan’s empire, reflecting their inspiration from the Mongol Empire.
The episode, airing on August 26, explores the club’s expansion beyond its mother chapter in Montebello. Within five years, the Mongols MC established their presence in Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield, and several other locations in California. This rapid expansion caught the attention of both law enforcement and rival clubs, setting the stage for intense turf wars and conflicts.
The episode also provides insight into the club’s military veteran members and their passion for Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
