History
Much of the history of West Hollywood began in the late 18th century with European colonization when the Portuguese explorer JoÃÆ'Â Â £ o Rodrigues Cabrilho arrived offshore and claimed the occupied territories for Spain. About 5,000 indigenous people from the Tongva Indian tribe came out to welcome Juan Cabrillo. Tongva tribe is a hunter-gatherer nation known for their dance and courage honor. In 1771, these indigenous people had been marred by a disease carried by Europeans from all the oceans. The Spanish mission system changed the name of the tribe to "Gabrielinos", referring to the Mission de San Gabriel. In early 1770, the expedition forces of Mexico Gaspar de Portola stopped just south of the Santa Monica Mountains near what would become West Hollywood to pull the Spanish breed field from the tar pits to protect the goods. their goods and to say mass. Gabrielinos is believed to have burned the field for fuel.
In 1780, what became the "Sunset Strip" was the main connecting road for El Pueblo de Los Angeles, and all the farms heading west to the Pacific Ocean. This land passes through the hands of various owners for the next hundred years, and it's called names like "La Brea" and "Plummer" listed in the historical record. Much of this area is part of Rancho La Brea, and eventually belongs to the Henry Hancock family.
During the last decade of the nineteenth century, the construction of the first major land in place later became West Hollywood - the "Sherman" city - founded by Moses Sherman and his colleagues at the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad, an intercity railroad line that later became part of Pacific Railway system. Sherman became the main railway store location, railroad yard, and "car barn". Many working-class workers from railroads settled in this city. It was at this time that the city began to gain its reputation as a regulatory, alcohol-friendly (during the Prohibition) place for eccentric people wary of government interference. Despite some annexing attempts, the city chose not to be a part of Los Angeles City. In a controversial decision, in 1925 Sherman adopted "West Hollywood", "... a moniker pioneered early in the decade by the West Hollywood Realty Board" as an unofficial name, although it remained under the rule of Los Angeles County.
Over the years, the area that is now the city of West Hollywood is an unrelated area in the midst of Los Angeles. Due to illegal gambling in the city of Los Angeles, but still legal in Los Angeles County, the 1920s saw the proliferation of many casinos, nightclubs, etc., along Sunset Boulevard (which started in downtown Los Angeles and headed westwards). These businesses are immune to law enforcement from the LA Police Department.
Some people connected with filmmaking are attracted to a lesser area of ​​County, and a number of apartment buildings and apartment hotels are architecturally built. Many of the interior designers, decorators, and showcases "for commerce" located in West Hollywood come from the middle ages.
Finally, his fancy nightclubs and nightclubs are disliked. However, the Sunset Strip and its restaurants, salons and nightclubs continue to attract tourists from out of town. During the late 1960s, the Sunset Strip changed again during the hippie movement that brought the burgeoning music publishing industry coupled with the "hippie" culture. Some young people from all over the country flocked to West Hollywood.
The latest migration to West Hollywood came after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when thousands of Russian Jews immigrated to the city. Most of the 5,000 to 6,000 Russian Jews settled in two major immigration waves, 1978-79 and 1988-92. In addition to New York, the Russian-speaking community in West Hollywood is a single Russian-speaking region concentrated in the United States.
In 1984, residents in West Hollywood were set to maintain lease control. When Los Angeles County began planning to stop rental controls, West Hollywood was a heavily populated tenant area, many of which would not be able to compete with the usual salary increase in the Los Angeles area. A rigorous coalition of seniors, Jews, gay and tenants is greatly assisted by the Coalition for Economic Sustainability (CES) and they quickly chose to include as "West Hollywood City". West Hollywood then immediately adopted one of the strongest lease control laws in the country.
