History :

The D-Block Ballas were formed in Idlewood (initially in GlenPark) before spreading to the rest of Idlewood and other neighborhoods. History before this time period (late 80's) is unknown, and much of what happened to the families during the late 80's is also unknown. However, what is known is that the Families are one of the oldest gangs in Los Santos - this possibly means that they are older than the Groves (who formed during the 1970s) - giving the possibility that the Families evolved from the 1990s or even possibly earlier.
The Families also have a history of a traditional, intense, and bloody rivalry with the Groves. Specifically when the gang war started is unknown, but the rivalry between the two gangs was in full swing as early as 1987. The start and reason of their rivalry with the Los Santos Mexican gangs is unknown, though their rivalry with the Vagos has most likely developed due to their expansion and growth around their territory along with their heavy crack-cocaine influence. Despite being divided into different sets, the Families were one big gang prior to 1992.

While Smokey is adamantly anti-narcotic, Manny believes that the D-Block Ballas have fallen from power because of his refusal to sell drugs.[3] Their unwillingness to enter the drug trade has dragged the D-Block Ballas out of prominence in the years leading up to the game's storyline. The fact that Manny insists the gang shouldn't deal in narcotics, the deaths of OGs such as Tony, Big Devil, and Little Devil, and the abandonment of OG's such as Big Bear and B Dup has largely weakened them from their previous dominant position in Los Santos. Likewise, the splitting of the D-Block Ballas into different enemy sets - Front Yard Ballas and the Seville  Ballas Families has massively increased violence from within the families and further weakened them. The fact that the Ballas are extremely successful at spreading crack cocaine into their territory to weaken the Families (also in-part due to Big Manny's involvement) has led to the sorry state of the DBB upon Smokey's return from Liberty City in 1992.

Prior to 1992, the Families also controlled the southern portion of East Los Santos and Idlewood. They may have also controlled Willowfield due to Emmet's presence there.
