History North Hollywood, like most of the rest of the San Fernando Valley, was once part of the vast landholdings of the Franciscan Mission San Fernando Rey de España, which were confiscated by the government during the Mexican period of rule. The Treaty of Cahuenga which ended the U.S.-Mexican fighting in California was signed at Tomás Feliz's adobe house at Campo de Cahuenga on Lankershim Boulevard in January of 1847. Mission San Fernando Rey de España (originally La Misión del Señor Fernando, Rey de España), was founded on The Feast of the Birth of Mary (September 8), 1797. ...

North Hollywood has certainly come a long way since the late 1800s when the Southern Pacific Railroad opened a branch line from downtown Los Angeles to the Valley. In 1895, the Chatsworth Limited made one stop a day in Toluca, although that name was in conflict with a sign on the new station which read Lankershim. With the Post Office across the street called Toluca, controversy over the town’s name continued and the local ranchers used to quip, “Ship the merchandise to Lankershim, but bill it to Toluca.” The area formerly known as Lankershim was subsequently renamed North Hollywood in an effort to capitalize on the glamour and proximity of Hollywood proper. North Hollywood today is extremely diverse, with Latino, including El Salvadoran-Americans and Honduran-Americans, Asian-American, including Thai-Americans and Filipino-Americans, Jewish, including Israeli-Americans, Jamaican-American, Middle Eastern, including Armenian-American and Iranian-Americans, and African-American populations.

New condominium buildings along a North Hollywood street North Hollywood's landscape has been transformed in recent years, with condominium towers (including a 15-story building on Lankershim Blvd) being built in the midst of older one-story bungalows and small apartment complexes. The community is being transformed from a relatively lower-middle class suburb into a regional center, in large part as a result of the construction of Metro Stations for the Red Line and the Orange Line, two lines that have made the city into a regional hub for the San Fernando Valley. Medium- and high-density developments are being built around the Metro Station, particularly in the NoHo Arts District, with the intent of creating a walkable urban village.

Famous Bank Heist In 1997, the nationally infamous "North Hollywood shootout" between the LAPD and two heavily armed gunmen who were caught in the act of robbing a Bank of America branch on Laurel Canyon Boulevard, occurred over a period of several hours between Victory Boulevard and Vanowen Street in central North Hollywood. The police arrived but didn't have the firepower to put down the robbers, who wore full body-armor and had superior firepower. The shootout resembled a combat zone. Bullets were flying in all directions hitting cars, buildings, and bystanders. The battle was broadcast live on television and ended up being made into a movie. The North Hollywood shootout was an armed confrontation between two heavily-armed and armored bank robbers, Larry Phillips, Jr. ...

NoHo Arts District Business & Theatre Owners in the Universal City/North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce formed the idea of establishing a theatre and arts district in 1992 with support from L.A. Department of Cultural Affairs. They chose "NoHo" as it not only distinctly revealed our location, but also plays off the well-known "SoHo" Arts District of New York City. Universal City is the name for the property of Universal Studios, a motion picture company, in Los Angeles County, California, including its studio facilities and an area around the studio site. ...

The theater district is growing at a steady pace, including two new large venues that expand upon existing theatres, the newly redesigned NoHo Arts Center (formerly the American Renegade Theatre), and the redesigned Historical El Portal. They add to the existing 31 theatres located in and around the NoHo Arts District. New mixed-use development, the NoHo Commons, is planned near the NoHo Arts District's commercial core and subway station by Los Angeles developer J.H. Snyder Company. The $100-million, 292-unit loft apartment project by Snyder is the first segment to be completed of NoHo Commons, part of a "transit village" rising at the terminus of the Metro Red Line subway and the Orange Line busway. Also planned are hundreds of other apartments, condos, stores and other developments, including a high school. Other projects nearby include NoHo Tower, a 15-story apartment building with 191 units at Lankershim Boulevard and Cumpston Street that is complete, and the historic North Hollywood train depot at Lankershim and Chandler boulevards, which is getting restored to its 1920s condition. The old train depot sits on land owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, across from the Metro Red Line subway station and next to the termination of the Orange Line bus line.

Transportation The North Hollywood Metro Subway station opened in June 2000 after 13 years in the planning. Close to half a million people took advantage of free rides on the 17.4-mile Red Line subway in its first weekend in operation. The station is the starting point for the Red Line Metro system, which cost $4.5 billion to construct. The L.A. county Transportation Commission took four years but finally in 1990 approved the subway station connecting North Hollywood to the Metro Rail from downtown. That followed the Los Angeles City Council unanimously endorsing the Valley Metro Rail extension plan. The subway features a route from Union Station to North Hollywood. The Los Angeles City Council meets three times a week in city hall. ...
The tunnel to connect the Metro Red Car's Hollywood leg to the San Fernando Valley extension cost $136 million. It included the cost of digging a tunel under the Santa Monica Mountains. The tunneling work was done by a Traylor Brothers/Fronteir-Kemper joint venture. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Sierra Club had fought to prevent the tunneling but ultimately lost. Environmentalists were concerned that the removal of billions of gallons of ground water might affect springs, wildlife and vegetation. Tunneling from North Hollywood for the subway started in 1995. Workers dug 70 feet deep using specialized tunneling machines to scoop out chunks of earth. Work progressed an average of 50 to 200 feet daily, performed by work crews round-the-clock six days a week. The machines used bore through soil that once lined the bottoms of ancient oceans. The two tunnels between the North Hollywood and Universal City stations were a total of 10,541 feet. The cost of building the two tunnels was $65.4 million and involved 250 workers. Experts estimate the costs of the same work in 2007 would be well over double if not triple given the increased costs of construction materials and labor.
Libraries Los Angeles Public Library operates the North Hollywood Regional Branch. The Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL) system serves the residents of Los Angeles, California. ...
The North Hollywood (Amelia Earhart) Regional Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library is located at 5211 Tujunga Avenue. The one-story, Mission-style brick building with Spanish tile work was opened in 1929 to replace a storefront operation known as the Sepulveda Library, which could not meet the demand caused by the area's rapid population growth. In 1981, at the suggestion of a local resident, officials renamed the library for Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Earhart, who disappeared over the Pacific Ocean on an attempted around-the-world flight in 1937, lived in nearby Toluca Lake for several years when she was in her 20s.
Famous residents Amelia Earhart was perhaps its most famous resident (though she was born in Atchison, Kansas, and probably died somewhere near Howland Island in the Central Pacific Ocean). Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) was a student at Lankershim Elementary School. Curly Howard of The Three Stooges was another famous North Hollywood resident. North Hollywood is the birthplace of Jan Smithers and Hip Hip Model Bria Myles. Comedian and radio talk show host Adam Carolla also hails from North Hollywood and writer/comedian Sean Kent lives there as well.

Amelia Earhart At the time of her disappearance, Earhart lived in North Hollywood with her husband of six years, George Palmer Putnam. A promoter, writer and former newspaperman, Putnam's greatest coup had been signing Charles A. Lindbergh to write about his 1927 solo flight from New York to Paris. After Earhart flew across the Atlantic as a passenger in 1928 and instantly was catapulted to fame-the novelty being that she was the first woman to make the crossing-Putnam convinced Earhart to write about her experience. Putnam reportedly had proposed marriage to Earhart on several occasions. Earhart's ambivalence about marrying was no secret. In a letter to a friend in 1930, she wrote: "I think I may not ever be able to see marriage except as a cage until I am unfit to work or fly or be active-and of course I wouldn't be desirable then." Finally, when Putnam proposed a sixth time at the Lockheed Co. in Burbank, she consented. They were married in 1931. In 1932, determined to prove herself a true pilot-not just a "sack of potatoes" as she had described her role in the flight four years before-Earhart took off eastward from New Jersey in her Burbank-built Lockheed Vega and became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Three months after that historic crossing, Earhart returned to North Hollywood for a short time to prepare for another flight. Her next "first" was in August of the same year, when she became the first woman to fly coast to coast. In 1934, the Putnams rented a bungalow in an exclusive area of North Hollywood where residents paid $5 a month for a Hollywood security company to protect their privacy and property. The following year, in July, 1935, Earhart wrote to her mother that they had found the ideal house to buy-overlooking a golf course and close to Burbank Airport-on the same street. From 1935 to 1937, Earhart made many more flights, many of them from Burbank Airport. It was there that she poured over blueprints with Lockheed engineers, who built the $34,000 Electra she was flying at the time of her disappearance. Earhart's badly damaged plane was sent to Burbank after she crashed on the runway at Pearl Harbor on her first around-the-world attempt in 1937. Shortly before World War II, the North Hollywood Jaycees dedicated a plaque to Earhart at Lankershim Boulevard and Camarillo Street. In 1954, when the plaque was relocated, the Jaycees proposed creating a more fitting tribute to the flier. The project took nearly seven years to complete. After an announcement to the community was made, donations from Valley residents who still remembered the aviator-and hundreds of coins from school children born four decades after her last flight-poured in to pay for the $20,000 project. It wasn't until 1968 that North Hollywood sculptor Ernest Shelton, a former Jaycee and part-time teacher at Valley College, began working on the memorial. Working from many photographs provided by Earhart's one-time secretary, Shelton recalled later that he "tried to recreate the woman as the public remembers her. I made her taller than she actually was because her slender body gave the impression of height." The seven-foot statue of Earhart, her hair cropped short and her body as lanky as photographs showed her to be, is made of fiberglass and steel with 23-karat gold overleaf. It stands at the corner of Tujunga Avenue and Magnolia Boulevard.
