The History of North Hollywood, California
North Hollywood
has changed a lot over the years, but its roots go back to the late 1800s.
Originally farmland, the area was part of the vast Lankershim Ranch, known for
wheat and fruit orchards. As Los Angeles grew, the land was developed into
suburban neighborhoods, and by the 1920s, the name was changed from Lankershim
to North Hollywood to attract new residents. The entertainment industry played
a huge role in shaping the area, with Universal Studios opening nearby and
actors, writers, and musicians moving in. Over time, it became a hub for the
arts, with theaters, dance studios, and creative spaces popping up. The NoHo
Arts District took off in the late 20th century, adding a cultural identity to
the neighborhood. It’s a place that’s always evolving but still holds onto its
artistic roots.
