History

The oldest community on the Westside of Los Angeles, Palms was founded in 1886 at a midpoint on an electric rail line (which later became part of the famous Pacific Electric "Red Car" system) between Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Before the massive urban growth engendered by the Los Angeles Aqueduct, Palms was the center of a farming and ranching area. As with many other Los Angeles suburbs, access to water from that Owens Valley aqueduct proved irresistible to Palms residents, and in 1915 they voted to be annexed to Los Angeles.

There are two Los Angeles Aqueducts--the original Los Angeles Aqueduct was designed by William Mulholland (an Irish immigrant who became a self-taught engineer and head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power) and completed in 1913 to deliver water from the Owens River to the city...

In the latter part of the 20th Century, much of Palms (except principally for the upscale Westside Village) was rezoned for multiple housing, and now some 92% of Palms residents live in rented apartments or condos. Even in Westside Village the number of renters is about 70% because of UCLA family housing and other multiple uses on the main streets.

Since the mid 1990s, Palms has seen an upturn in its fortunes, with the revival of Culver City's adjacent downtown adding new life to the area. The district's diversity, affordability, and central location have made it an appealing center for young professionals seeking alternatives to traffic-choked Westwood and Santa Monica, but still wanting to live in a diverse urban setting in a neighborhood relatively close to the beach. Palms' growth will probably continue well into the 21st century with the arrival of the Metro Expo Line, a light-rail corridor stretching along Exposition Boulevard from Downtown Los Angeles to eastern Culver City, just east of Palms. This line will eventually extend to Santa Monica, passing through Palms via the original Pacific Electric rail right-of-way on a portion of its route.

Neighborhood Council

The Palms Neighborhood Council was certified as part of the city government on December 14, 2004. Its founding president was Len Nguyen, who resigned shortly after his taking office in order to go to work for newly elected City Council Member Bill Rosendahl. Todd Robinson succeeded as the second president, but he resigned a few months later. In March 2006 Vice President Pauline Stout moved up to become president.

All of the stakeholders in Palms are members of the neighborhood council. Stakeholders include not only those who live, work or own property in the district, but also a broader category of people who can claim affiliation through some other kind of activity on behalf of Palms oganizations. Three from that category were elected in spring 2005 to the Representative Assembly, a 13-member governing body composed of officers chosen on a districtwide basis and representatives elected from local areas.

Housing

Until the early 1960s, most of Palms was single-family homes[1] and small duplexes and triplexes, most of which were built in the Craftsman and Spanish Colonial styles that dominated Southern California in the first quarter of the 20th century. Under pressure to provide affordable housing, the city of Los Angeles rezoned most of the district for large multifamily dwellings. (Homeowners' associations in Westside Village, Mar Vista, Rancho Park, and Beverlywood successfully banded together to fight against any such rezoning in their neighborhoods.)^{[citation needed]} This had the result of most of Palms' historic housing stock being razed and replaced with two-story (or larger) apartment buildings. Very few original houses remain, and many of those are on lots where additional housing units have been built on what were once backyards. Palms is now one of Los Angeles' most densely populated neighborhoods. Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with ones own hands and skill. ... The Spanish Colonial Revival Style was an architectural movement that came about in the early 20th century after the opening of the Panama Canal and the overwhelming success of the novel Ramona. ...

The housing stock in historic Palms is now almost completely composed of apartment buildings, and 92% of the population there are renters. The upscale Westside Village district contains the only significant remaining concentration of owner-occupied single-family homes, largely constructed by developer Fritz Burns in assembly-line style just before World War II; most of these houses have been expanded during their lifetime, and some have been replaced in recent years by bigger, two-story dwellings (including a number of "Persian palaces"). Apartment buildings, including two UCLA family- and graduate-student housing complexes, line even Westside Village's major thoroughfares. Persian palace is a derisive term used by Los Angeles residents for a large mansion that occupies a disproportionately large area of the parcel on which it is built. ...

Transportation

Palms is served by the 405 San Diego and 10 Rosa Parks freeways. It has a good bus system, with the No. 12 Santa Monica Big Blue Bus (and the express Super 12) providing a direct line to UCLA on the north, Culver City on the south and the South Robertson area on the east. Venice Blvd. is served by the No. 33 (and Express 333) bus lines of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The No. 6 line of Culver CityBus on Sepulveda Blvd. links UCLA with the Los Angeles Airport and the Green Line of the light-rail system, while Culver City's No. 3 line connects the district to Century City. The city's Department of Transportation offers a commuter freeway express to downtown in the morning and return in the afternoon.

Arrest in Woodbine Park

On Aug. 25, 1993, in Woodbine Park (east of Motor Avenue between Palms and National Boulevard), rap singer Snoop Dogg (real name: Calvin Broadus) was arrested on suspicion of being an accomplice in the killing of reputed gang member Philip Woldemariam. Broadus' bodyguard actually pulled the trigger and claimed self-defense at the trial. Both were acquitted. Snoop Dogg Calvin Cordozar Broadus (born October 20, 1971 in Long Beach, California) is a rap musician and actor. ...
