WHAT IS 

HOLLYWOOD?


IN 1886, H. H. WILCOX BOUGHT A PLACE OF RANCHO LA BREA 

THAT HIS WIFE THEN CHRISTENED "HOLLYWOOD." AFTER A 

COUPLE OF YEARS, WILCOX HAD DEVISED A GRID ARRANGE FOR 

HIS NEW COMMUNITY, PAVED PROSPECT AVENUE (NOW 

HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD) FOR HIS PRIMARY STREET AND IT 

WAS SELLING LARGE RESIDENTIAL LOTS TO WEALTHY 

MIDWESTERNERS SEARCHING TO CONSTRUCT HOMES SO THAT 

THEY COULD STAY IN WINTER IN CALIFORNIA.


PROSPECT AVENUE SOON GREW TO BECOME A ESTEEMED 

RESIDENTIAL STREET POPULATED WITH LARGE QUEEN ANNE, 

VICTORIAN, AND MISSION REVIVAL HOUSES. MRS. DAEIDA 

WILCOX ELEVATED FUNDS TO CONSTRUCT PLACES OF 

WORSHIP, SCHOOLS ALONG WITH A LIBRARY AND HOLLYWOOD 

RAPIDLY GREW TO BECOME AN ENTIRE AND PROSPEROUS 

COMMUNITY. THE CITY INCORPORATED IN 1903, NEVERTHELESS 

ITS INDEPENDENCE WAS SHORT-RESIDED, AS THE POSSIBLE 

LACK OF WATER FORCED ANNEXATION IN 1910 TOWARDS THE 

TOWN OF LA, WHICH IN FACT HAD THE SURPLUS WAY TO OBTAIN 

WATER.

IN 1911, THE NESTOR COMPANY OPENED UP HOLLYWOOD'S 

FIRST FILM STUDIO WITHIN AN OLD TAVERN ON A CORNER OF 

SUNSET AND GOWER.

WHY HOLLYWOOD WAS MADE?

TO HELP AND SUPPORT THE UNDISCOVERED 

TALENTS WAS THE FIRST MOTIVE AND TO 

SHOW PEOPLE THAT THE FAME IS ALSO A  

PART OF ART.
