North Hollywood History
North Hollywood's history dates back to the founding of LA when a small group of Yankees raised the California Bear Flag there during the Mexican-American war. It served as the subsequent staging area during the Battle of Los Angeles, during which Union troops succeeded in pushing Mexican troops out of the San Fernando Valley, securing Los Angeles for the United States. It was subsequently converted for dry-land farms, making use of modern irrigation techniques to grow hardy, desert-resistant fruit and nut trees. This eventually evolved into a thriving peach and apricot industry, and many peach trees remain in the back yards and parks of the area.
North Hollywood Homes
North Hollywood's need for irrigation water led to it incorporating into Los Angeles in order to take advantage of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. However, rising property values and a failure to share the water as intended eventually led the farmers to seek greener pastures, leaving the area ripe for development. North Hollywood thus boomed as a suburban outcrop of Los Angeles in the 20s and 30s, and at this time it received its current name. The area quickly filled with single-family homes. While initially almost exclusively white, demographic changes throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s led to the region becoming exceedingly diverse and largely middle class.
North Hollywood Neighborhood
The neighborhood of North Hollywood consists primarily of single-family dwellings, although many area homes are duplexes or small apartment buildings. There are no industrial or major commercial areas, although it is slowly changing as the population grows denser, with condominiums becoming more and more common. In an event to pro-actively prevent congestion and overcrowding, an effort has been made to make walking and biking easier. Additionally, the Red Line and Orange Line now converge in the community, making it a major hub for train traffic, and permitting local residents to quickly and easily travel throughout the San Fernando Valley without the use of a car. Additional branches, as well as bus systems, are being established to promote mobility and fight congestion.
North Hollywood Amenities
North Hollywood is also home to a vast and high-quality school system, with parents having a large number of schools and school districts to choose from. There are also a number of private schools, both religious and secular, located within North Hollywood. Due to the slow expansion and careful urban planning, North Hollywood is home to some of LA's largest and most lavish parks, including the North Hollywood Recreation Center. The Los Angeles Public Library maintains a North Hollywood branch, named after Amelia Earheart. It is one of the largest branches.
