About Hollywood

Hollywood is a city in Broward County, Florida. As of 2013 Hollywood has a population of 146,516. Founded in 1915, the city grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s, and is now the twelfth largest city in Florida. Joseph W. Young founded the city; he dreamed of building a motion picture colony on the East Coast of the United States and named the town after Hollywood, California. Young bought up thousands of acres of land around 1910, and named his new town "Hollywood by the Sea" to distinguish it from his other real estate venture, "Hollywood in the Hills", in New York. After the 1916 Miami hurricane, Hollywood was severely damaged; local newspapers reported that Hollywood was second only to Miami in losses from the storm. Hollywood is a planned city. On Hollywood Boulevard is the Mediterranean-style Joseph Young Mansion, built around 1911, making it one of the oldest houses in Hollywood. Hollywood is located in southeastern Broward County, and includes about 5 to 6 miles (8.0 to 9.7 km) of Atlantic Ocean beach. Like the rest of South Florida, Hollywood has a Tropical monsoon climate, with humid summers and mild winters.
