In 1853, there was but one adobe building in the district. By 1900, the area had a population of about 500. It was incorporated as a municipality in 1903, but in 1910, it was annexed into Los Angeles. It is known as the home of the modern movie industry, and its name is often used as a synonym for hedonism and excess.
