Hollywood history

Hollywood started from a mud building built in 1853 AD on the site, then turned into a small city near California. The first to lay the foundation stones for the city was Harvey Wilcox in 1887 AD, a person who was banned from Kansas City, and he wanted to build a society based on his moderate religious beliefs, but the real estate emperor H. Jay. Wheatley turned it into a wealthy and popular residential area, and was called the "Father of Hollywood" for his efforts.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Wheatley made efforts to secure the city's needs of water, electricity, telephone lines, and gas lines, but the emergence of a problem with the water lines led to the annexation of Hollywood to Los Angeles at the request of its residents. In 1908 AD, the first cinematic film was filmed in the city, and in 1911 AD the first film-making studio was built in it. The companies rushed later to build their own studios in the city, which reached 20 companies at the time, and Hollywood soon turned into the center of the film industry in America in the year 1915 AD.

After World War II, the film industry tended to shoot its films outside the studios, after the equipment and technology used in filming developed, which led to many of these studios dispensing with their locations and replacing them with external locations for filming. However, the boom of TV shows after the movies led to the city flourishing once again and restored its splendor. In the sixties of the last century, the city became a center for the most famous television programs, and home to the most important studios of television stations.
