About Hollywood
Hollywood is a district of the city of Los Angeles, California,
U.S.A., situated northwest of Downtown. Due to its fame and identity
as the historical center of movie studios and stars, the word
"Hollywood" is often used colloquially to refer to the
American film industry. Today much of the movie industry has dispersed
into surrounding areas such as Burbank and the Westside, but significant
ancillary industries (such as editing, effects, props, post-production,
and lighting companies) remain in Hollywood.
Several historic Hollywood theaters are used as venues to premiere
major theatrical releases, and host the Academy Awards. It is
a popular destination for nightlife and tourism, and home to the
Walk of Fame. There is currently no official boundary of Hollywood
(Los Angeles does not have official districts), but the 2002 secession
movement and the current Neighborhood Council boundaries can serve
as guides. There is a sign at the northeast corner of Fairfax
Avenue and Melrose Avenue indicating that one is entering Hollywood.
Generally, Hollywood's southern border follows Melrose Avenue
from Vermont Avenue west to Fairfax Avenue. From there, the boundary
continues north on Fairfax, wrapping east around the separate
City of West Hollywood along Willoughby Avenue then wrapping around
on La Brea and heads west along Fountain Avenue before turning
north again on Laurel Canyon Boulevard into the Hollywood Hills.
The eastern boundary follows Vermont Avenue north from Melrose
past Hollywood Boulevard to Franklin Avenue. From there, the border
travels west along Franklin to Western Avenue, and then north
on Western into Griffith Park. Most of the hills between Laurel
Canyon and Griffith Park are part of Hollywood. The commercial,
cultural, and transportation center of Hollywood is the area where
La Brea Avenue, Highland Avenue, Cahuenga Boulevard, and Vine
Street intersect Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard. The
population of the district is estimated to be about 300,000.
As a portion of the City of Los Angeles, Hollywood does not have
its own municipal government, but does have an appointed official
that serves as "honorary mayor" for ceremonial purposes
only. Currently, the "mayor" is Johnny Grant. In 1853,
one adobe hut stood on the site that became Hollywood. By 1870,
an agricultural community flourished in the area with thriving
crops. In the 1880s, Harvey Henderson Wilcox of Kansas, who made
a fortune in real estate even though he had lost the use of his
legs due to typhoid fever, and his wife, Daeida, moved to Los
Angeles from Topeka. In 1886, Wilcox bought 160 acres (0.6 km²)
of land in the countryside to the west of the city at the foothills
and the Cahuenga Pass. http://www.hollywoodchamber.net/
