History. Founded in 1925, the city grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and is now the twelfth-largest city in Florida.
Joseph Young arrived in South Florida in 1920 in search to create his own “Dream City in Florida” and named the town after Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
This new town quickly became home to northerners known as snowbirds. These snowbirds flee the north during the winter and then escape the south during the summer to avoid the harsh climates.
By 1960, Hollywood contained more than 2,400 hotel units along with the construction of 12,170 single family homes.
Hollywood is filled with about 60 parks, seven golf courses, and sandy beaches that run for miles.
