Who was created first bloods or crips?

The Crips were formed first in Los Angeles in 1969, while the Bloods emerged shortly after in the early 1970s as a response to the Crips' growing influence. The Bloods were initially created to provide protection for their members and to counteract the Crips. Over time, both gangs became prominent in the Los Angeles area and have since spread to other cities across the United States.
