History

The area now known as North Hollywood was previously named “Lankershim” and before that “Toluca”. Dubbed “The Home of the Peach” in 1903, when the Bonner Fruit Company was the area’s biggest employer, canning more than a million tons of peaches and other fruits grown in the valley, the region was annexed to the City of Los Angeles in 1919 and 1923, and renamed North Hollywood in 1927.

A surge of new construction transformed the North Hollywood area from a farming community into a suburb of Los Angeles thanks in large part to the formation of the 743-acre North Hollywood Development District and the subsequent NoHo Commons projects. Today, NoHo is home to a variety of development projects aimed at maintaining its historic character while also building new places for residents to live, work and play.
