The Vice Kings trace their roots back to the late '60s to the early '70s (implied by a photo held by Benjamin King gang leader/founder of Vice King's), back in Sunnyvale Gardens to counterbalance the power of Los Carnales. They were the only ones to successfully fight back and triumph against them, who were at the time an unstoppable force controlling the entire city. Los Carnales back in those days, further back before 3rd Streets founding era, dominated every neighborhood in the Southern Island. They were muscling their way into unclaimed areas on the West Side at the time, but Sunnyvale had neighborhood street toughs.
