Los Angeles County • California Local
Home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Hollywood, a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, incorporated as a municipality on November 14, 1903. It was consolidated with the city of Los Angeles in 1910 in order to secure an adequate water supply and to gain access to the L.A. sewer system. Soon thereafter a prominent film industry emerged.
Hollywood’s name has come to be a shorthand reference for the U.S. film industry and the people associated with it. Many of its studios such as Disney, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and Universal Pictures were founded in here.
Visionary Hobart Johnstone Whitley, along with Charles E. Toberman, has been called the “Father of Hollywood”. In 1910, director D. W. Griffith was the first to make a motion picture in Hollywood. His 17-minute short film … In Old California was the first short film.
The Nestor Film Company was the first studio in Hollywood. Los Angeles became the capital of the film industry in the United States thereafter.
By the 1930s, Hollywood studios produced 600 films per year. Hollywood became known as Tinseltown and the “dream factory” because of the glittering image of the movie industry.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is located on 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street. It was created in 1958 as a tribute to artists (including music and theater) and other significant contributors to the entertainment industry. The official opening was on February 8, 1960.
