About Hollywood

In 1920, California developer Joseph Young arrived in South Florida to build his master-planned Dream City. Young laid out wide boulevards, circles, lakes, and yacht basins that still shape the city's grid today. The town was originally named Hollywood by the Sea, and Young served as its first mayor in 1925. Soon after, snowbirds from the Northeast filled the new hotels each winter, and the population grew quickly during the post-World War II boom.

Geographically, Hollywood covers about 27 square miles in southeast Broward County, with 5 to 6 miles of Atlantic Ocean frontage. Major roadways include U.S. 1 (Federal Highway), I-95, and the Florida Turnpike. Dania Beach borders the city to the north, while Hallandale Beach lies to the south. The city operates under a commission-manager government from city hall on Hollywood Boulevard. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport sits just minutes north of the city limits.
