travel guide SUNSET STRIP · SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD · THE AVENUES 2012 West Hollywood is a place that’s proud to stand out. Its irregularly shaped outline tells of its unique beginnings as a city carved out by those who refused to invisibly fit in. With passion and determination, we’ve built an open yet sophisticated haven that values fresh thinking and individuality. The rebellious and inspired creativity of the people who live and work here has put West Hollywood at the leading edge of culture, entertainment and design. Here, the elegant and the outrageous, the refined and the radical come together to make their debuts in ways that are new, unexpected and sometimes revolutionary. Officially founded in 1984 as the 84th city in Los Angeles County, West Hollywood is a young, vibrant community with a colorful and entertaining past. From its 19th century beginnings as a virtual “no man’s land,” the region soon became a prime location for a railway, and in 1894, a man named Moses Sherman bought the land and designated it as the headquarters of the Los Angeles Pacific Railway Co. This venture sparked the need for housing, and West Hollywood (then a town called “Sherman”) started to see its first bout of immense growth. Shortly thereafter, motion picture studios emerged and surpassed the railway as the major hub of Sherman. Movie moguls Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks bought film studios near Santa Monica Boulevard. In 1925, when the city’s name changed to West Hollywood, a dirt road a few blocks north served as the main commuter route between Beverly Hills and Hollywood. This area is now known as Sunset Boulevard. Sunset became a stomping ground for those in the entertainment world and the Sunset Strip was born, bringing with it nightclubs, hotels and a number of architecturally significant residences. People were drawn to this thriving western locale and celebrities of the Golden Era considered West Hollywood the swankiest, most glamorous nightlife destination. The upscale shopping district Sunset Plaza was born, and nightclubs such as Ciro’s, Mocambo, and the Trocadero were the center of social life for the stars and gangsters like Bugsy Siegel. The area gained notoriety around the nation due in part to the county’s lax law enforcement. At present, the city has grown to 39,000 residents and remains Los Angeles’ hottest destination for the entertainment industry with its boutique hotels, celebrity-owned restaurants, unparalleled nightlife and shopping, and events like the HBO Emmy Party, Sir Elton John’s Annual Oscar Party, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, LA PRIDE and the largest Halloween street party – the West Hollywood Costume Carnaval – in the world. West Hollywood continues to be an example for progressive, creative individuals on the cutting edge of trends and new ideas, working together as a community in one of the most intriguing cities in the country.
