Development and Founding: Hollywood, initially named Cahuenga Valley, was established in 1887 by a real estate developer named Harvey Henry Wilcox and his wife Daeida. Recognizing the area's potential as a residential community, they purchased 160 acres of land and divided it into lots. The name "Hollywood" was inspired by Daeida's summer home in Chicago, which was called "Hollywood House." Early Growth and Entertainment Industry: During the early 20th century, Hollywood began to attract film production companies due to its favorable weather, diverse landscapes, and proximity to other desirable locales in California
