What is Hollywood?
Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and
was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It
officially merged with the city of Los Angeles in
1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film
industry began to emerge, eventually becoming
the most dominant and recognized in the
world.

8. More about Hollywood:
In 1853, one adobe hut stood in Nopalera
(Nopal field), named for the Mexican Nopal
cactus indigenous to the area. By 1870, an
agricultural community flourished. The area
was known as the Cahuenga Valley, after the
pass in the Santa Monica Mountains
immediately to the north.
The name "Hollywood" was coined by H. J.
Whitley, the "Father of Hollywood".[5] Whitley
9. arranged to buy the 500-acre (2.0 km2) E.C.
Hurd ranch and disclosed to him his plans for
the land. They agreed on a price and Hurd
agreed to sell at a later date. Before Whitley
got off the ground with Hollywood, plans for
the new town had spread to General Harrison
Gray Otis, Hurd's wife, eastern adjacent ranch
co-owner Daeida Wilcox, and others.
Daeida Wilcox may have learned of the name
Hollywood from Ivar Weid, her neighbor in
Holly Canyon (now Lake Hollywood) and a
prominent investor and friend of Whitley's.She
recommended the same name to her husband,
Harvey. H. Wilcox. On February 1, 1887, Wilcox
filed a deed and map of property he sold with
the Los Angeles County Recorder's office,
named "Hollywood, California." Wilcox wanted
to be the first to record it on a deed. The early
real-estate boom busted that same year, yet
10. Hollywood began its slow growth.
By 1900, the region had a post office,
newspaper, hotel, and two markets. Los
Angeles, with a population of 102,479 lay 10
miles (16 km) east through the vineyards,
barley fields, and citrus groves. A single-track
streetcar line ran down the middle of Prospect
Avenue from it, but service was infrequent and
the trip took two hours. The old citrus fruit-packing
house was converted into a livery
stable, improving transportation for the
inhabitants of Hollywood.
Daeida Wilcox Beveridge, the "Mother of
Hollywood," gave three lots to the painter Paul
de Longpré at Cahuenga Boulevard and
Prospect Avenue (Hollywood Boulevard), for
cultural enhancement of the town. His
11. extensive flower gardens and mansion with
public art gallery became an early tourist
attraction in Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Hotel was opened in 1902 by H.
J. Whitley, president of the Los Pacific
Boulevard and Development Company. Having
finally acquired the Hurd ranch and subdivided
it, Whitley built the hotel to attract land buyers.
Flanking the west side of Highland Avenue, the
structure fronted on Prospect Avenue, which,
still a dusty, unpaved road, was regularly
graded and graveled. The hotel was to become
internationally known and was the center of
the civic and social life and home of the stars
for many years.
Whitley's company developed and sold one of
the early residential areas, the Ocean View
12. Tract. Whitley did much to promote the area.
He paid thousands of dollars for electric
lighting, including bringing electricity and
building a bank, as well as a road into the
Cahuenga Pass. The lighting ran for several
blocks down Prospect Avenue. Whitley's land
was centered on Highland Avenue.
