West Hollywood. Originally a Spanish ranch where lima beans were
grown, Beverly Hills was incorporated in 1914 by a group of investors
who had failed to find oil, but found water instead and eventually
decided to develop it into a town. By 2013, its population had grown
to 34,658. Sometimes referred to as "90210", one of its primary ZIP
codes, it was home to many actors and celebrities throughout the 20th

History[edit]
Early history[edit]
Gaspar de Portolá
Gaspar de Portolá arrived in the area that would later become Beverly
Hills on August 3, 1769, travelling along native trails which followed
the present-day route of Wilshire Boulevard.
The area was settled by Maria Rita Quinteros de Valdez and her husband
in 1828.[9] They called their 4,500 acres (18 km2) of property
the Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas.[10] In 1854, she sold the ranch to
Benjamin Davis Wilson
Benjamin Davis Wilson (1811–1878) and Henry Hancock
(1822–1883).[9] By the 1880s, the ranch had been subdivided into
parcels of 75 acres (0.30 km2) and was being rapidly bought up by
anglos from
Los Angeles
Los Angeles and the East coast.[10]
Henry Hammel and Andrew H. Denker

Henry Hammel and Andrew H. Denker acquired most of it and used it for
farming lima beans.[9][11] At this point, the area was known as the
Hammel and Denker Ranch.[9] By 1888, Denker and Hammel were planning
to build a town called Morocco on their holdings.[9][12]
20th century[edit]
Hammel and Denker ranch, c. 1905
In 1900, Burton E. Green, Charles A. Canfield, Max Whittier, Frank H.
Buck, Henry E. Huntington, William G. Kerckhoff, William F. Herrin,
W.S. Porter, and Frank H. Balch, formed the Amalgamated Oil Company,
bought the Hammel and Denker ranch, and began looking for
oil.[9][13][14] They did not find enough to exploit commercially by
the standards of the time, though.[14] In 1906, therefore, they
reorganized as the Rodeo Land and Water Company, renamed the property
"Beverly Hills," subdivided it, and began selling lots.[14][15] The
development was named "Beverly Hills" after
Beverly Farms
Beverly Farms in Beverly,
Massachusetts and because of the hills in the area.[13][14] The first
house in the subdivision was built in 1907, although sales remained
slow.[16]
Beverly Hills was one of many all-white planned communities started in
the
Los Angeles
Los Angeles area around this time.[17] Restrictive covenants
prohibited non-whites from owning or renting property unless they were
employed as servants by white residents.[12]:57 It was also forbidden
to sell or rent property to
Jews
Jews in Beverly Hills.[18]
The Beverly Hills Hotel
The Beverly Hills Hotel was the first substantial building project in
what developed into Beverly Hills.
Burton Green began construction on
The Beverly Hills Hotel
The Beverly Hills Hotel in 1911.
The hotel was finished in 1912. The visitors drawn by the hotel were
inclined to purchase land in Beverly Hills, and by 1914 the
subdivision had a high enough population to incorporate as an
independent city.[13] That same year, the Rodeo Land and Water Company
decided to separate its water business from its real estate business.
The Beverly Hills Utility Commission was split off from the land
company and incorporated in September 1914, buying all of the
utilities-related assets from the Rodeo Land and Water Company.[19]

In 1919,
Douglas Fairbanks
Douglas Fairbanks and
Mary Pickford
Mary Pickford bought land on Summit
Drive and built a mansion, finished in 1921[20] and nicknamed
"Pickfair" by the press.[21] The glamor associated with Fairbanks and
Pickford as well as other movie stars who built mansions in the city
contributed to its growing appeal.[20]
By the early 1920s the population of Beverly Hills had grown enough to
make the water supply a political issue.[22] In 1923 the usual
solution, annexation to the city of Los Angeles, was proposed.[10]:65
There was considerable opposition to annexation among such famous
residents as Pickford, Fairbanks, Will Rogers[23] and Rudolph
Valentino.[24] The Beverly Hills Utility Commission, opposed to
annexation as well, managed to force the city into a special election
and the plan was defeated 337 to 507.[10]:65

In 1925, Beverly Hills approved a bond issue to buy 385 acres
(1.6 km2) for a new campus for UCLA. The cities of Los Angeles,
Santa Monica and Venice also issued bonds to help pay for the new
campus.[25] In 1928, the Beverly Wilshire Apartment Hotel (now the
Beverly Wilshire Hotel) opened on
Wilshire Boulevard
Wilshire Boulevard between El Camino
and Rodeo drives, part of the old Beverly Hills Speedway.[26] That
same year oilman
Edward L. Doheny
Edward L. Doheny finished construction of Greystone
Mansion, a 55-room mansion meant as a wedding present for his son
Edward L. Doheny, Jr. The house is now owned by the city of Beverly
Hills.[27]
In the early 1930s, Santa Monica Park was renamed Beverly Gardens and
was extended to span the entire two-mile (3-kilometer) length of Santa
Monica Boulevard through the city. The
Electric Fountain
Electric Fountain marks the
corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Wilshire Blvd. with a small sculpture
at the top of a Tongva kneeling in prayer. In April 1931, the new
Italian Renaissance-style
Beverly Hills City Hall
Beverly Hills City Hall was opened.[16]:9
In the early 1940s, black actors and businessmen had begun to move
into Beverly Hills, despite the covenants allowing only whites to live
in the city. A neighborhood improvement association attempted to
enforce the covenant in court. The defendants included such luminaries
as Hattie McDaniel, Louise Beavers, and Ethel Waters. Among the white
residents supporting the lawsuit against blacks was silent film star
Harold Lloyd. The
NAACP
NAACP participated in the defense, which was
successful. In his decision, federal judge
Thurmond Clarke said that
it was time that "members of the Negro race are accorded, without
reservations or evasions, the full rights guaranteed to them under the
14th amendment."[28] The
United States Supreme Court
United States Supreme Court declared
restrictive covenants unenforceable in 1948 in Shelley v. Kraemer. A
group of Jewish residents of Beverly Hills filed an amicus brief in
this case.[29]
In 1956,
Paul Trousdale (1915–1990) purchased the grounds of the
Doheny Ranch and developed it into the Trousdale Estates, convincing
the city of Beverly Hills to annex it.[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] The
neighborhood has been home to Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean
Martin, Tony Curtis, Ray Charles, President
Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon and, more
recently, Jennifer Aniston, David Spade, Vera Wang, and John
Rich.[33][37][38]
In the late 1990s, the
Los Angeles
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (LACMTA) proposed to build an extension of the Metro Red
Line along
Wilshire Boulevard
Wilshire Boulevard and into downtown Beverly Hills, but the
city opposed it.[39]
21st century[edit]
In 2001, LACMTA then proposed a bus rapid transit route down Santa
Monica Blvd., but this was also opposed by the city and never built.
Currently this stretch of road is served by less efficient Metro Rapid
buses using pre-existing roadways.[39] By 2010, traffic in Beverly
Hills and surrounding areas had grown bad enough that the city's
habitual opposition had largely turned to support for subways within
the city limits.[40] As part of the
Westside Subway Extension
.jpg/440px-PurpleLineComing-(2).jpg)
Westside Subway Extension project,
the Purple Line of the LA Metro Rail is planned to be extended through
Beverly Hills, adding two underground stations at Wilshire/La Cienega
and Wilshire/Rodeo by the 2020s.[41]
In the midst of the 2015 drought, Beverly Hills was found to be one of
the biggest water consumers in all of California.[42] As a result,
they were asked by the state to reduce their consumption by 36%,
prompting many residents to replace their lawns with native
plants.[42] Meanwhile, the city government replaced the grass in front
of the City Hall with Mexican sage.[42]
In September 2015, the City of Beverly Hills signed an agreement with
the State of Israel to work together on water use as well as
"cybersecurity, public health, emergency services, disaster
preparedness, public safety, counterterrorism and art and
culture".[43]
In July 2016, the City of Beverly Hills received the Livability Award
from the
United States Conference of Mayors
United States Conference of Mayors for its Ambassador
Program, which takes care of the city's homeless population.[44]
The Beverly Hills Community Dog Park was dedicated on September 6,
2016.[45][46]
In November 2016, the Beverly Hills
City Council
City Council passed a resolution
to condemn the decision made by the
UNESCO
UNESCO to deny the Jewish history
of
Temple Mount

Geography[edit]
Beverly Hills and the neighboring city of West Hollywood are together
entirely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles. Specifically, Beverly
Hills is bordered on the northwest by the
Los Angeles
Los Angeles neighborhood of
Bel-Air and the Santa Monica Mountains, on the east by West Hollywood,
the
Carthay
Carthay neighborhood of Los Angeles, and the Fairfax District of
Los Angeles, and on the south by the Beverlywood neighborhood of Los
Angeles.[48] The area's "Platinum Triangle" is formed by the city of
Beverly Hills and the
Los Angeles
Los Angeles neighborhoods of Bel Air and Holmby
Hills.
In spite of the city's name, most residents live in the "flats" of
Beverly Hills, which is a relatively flat land that slants towards the
hills, and includes all of Beverly Hills itself. The houses situated
in the hillside north of Sunset Boulevard have a much higher value
than the average housing price for the rest of the city. Santa Monica
Boulevard divides the "flats" into two areas, locally known as "North
or South of the tracks," referring to the train tracks that were once
used by the old
Pacific Electric
Pacific Electric streetcar line that traversed Beverly
Hills along Santa Monica Blvd. Houses south of
Wilshire Boulevard
Wilshire Boulevard have
more urban square and rectangular lots, in general smaller than those
to the north. There are also more apartment buildings south of
Wilshire Blvd. than anywhere else in Beverly Hills, and the average
house value south of Wilshire is the lowest in Beverly Hills. Nearly
all businesses and government offices in Beverly Hills are located
south of Santa Monica Blvd. Two notable exceptions are the Beverly
Hills Hotel and the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Just outside the city limits
to the west lies the
Los Angeles
Los Angeles Country Club. Other locations
commonly associated with Beverly Hills include the Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center and the Beverly Center, just outside the city limits to
the east.
Beverly Hills Post Office
Beverly Hills Post Office is an area of
Los Angeles
Los Angeles that the Beverly
Hills Post Office serves and carries the "Beverly Hills, CA 90210"
mailing address. The other four, less-celebrated ZIP codes for Beverly
Hills are: 90209, 90211, 90212 and 90213.[8]
Along with the
Los Angeles
Los Angeles communities of Bel-Air and Brentwood, it is
one of the "Three Bs",[49][50] a wealthy area in the Los Angeles
Westside.[51]
Climate[edit]
Beverly Hills has a hot and warm Mediterranean micro-climate, with an
average high of 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29.4 degrees Celsius) in
August, and an average high of 67 degrees Fahrenheit (19.5 degrees
Celsius) in January (source Weather.com). Beverly Hills also receives
an average 18 inches (460 mm) of rain per year. Summers are
marked by warm to hot temperatures with very little wind, while
winters are warm to moderate, to cool with occasional rain alternating
with periods of Santa Ana winds. Measurable snowfall has been recorded
only in 1882, 1922, 1932, 1949 and 1958.
