The City of
Hollywood, FL:
 Hollywood,
FL began as one square mile of farm land. The city now consists
of 29 square miles. The core of the city is the Historic
Hollywood Business District designed by founder, Joseph W.
Young. His plan for the city began with a boulevard providing
a link from the ocean to the Everglades. Young’s
design included large parks, a golf course, schools and churches
to meet the needs of a diverse population.
Hollywood, FL is unlike any other suburb: the close proximity
to shops and 3 large circles of land planted along the main
boulevard were innovative for the time. The three circles:
Young, Watson, and Presidential Circle, currently the site
of a 10 acre park, the city hall and a military academy.
Young wanted the city to be a place of dreams, so he called
it Hollywood, FL.
Determined to make Hollywood a location for everyone to
come see, Mr. Young wanted his city to visited by the masses
so in 1928, he created what is now known as Port Everglades,
the state’s second busiest cruise port. In 1954 Hollywood,
FL Boulevard was extended from State Road 7 to US 27. This
started westward expansion of the city adding Hollywood Mall
and creating Hollywood Hills. Hollywood, FL continued to
grow with the opening of The Diplomat Hotel in 1958.
Hollywood, FL is also the location for the legendary Seminole
Indian Reservation which recently became Hollywood, FL's
entertainment & club hot spot with the introduction of
the Seminole Hard Rock Café & Casino. The Seminoles
are an important part of Florida's history; their story is
told in the Ahi-Tha-Thi-Ki Museum. The tribe also provides
the community with several cultural events and attractions
offered exclusively to the city.
Hollywood, FL has a population of 140,000
people. Its diverse population has been said to reflect the
future makeup of the country's population in 2022. Hollywood,
FL is located in Southeast Broward County with 5-6 miles
of beaches. The "Diamond
of the Gold Coast" is Florida's tenth largest city hosting
monthly entertainment and events in several of its public
venues.
Hollywood, FL offers plenty of things to
do for the family, whether it is walking on the boardwalk,
visiting galleries at the historic Harrison Art & Design
District, shopping in downtown, or partying at the Hard Rock.
This is the time to take another look at Hollywood, FL.
