Hollywood didn't start off big. In the 1870s is was a small community and became a municiplaity in 1903.
I didn't realize this. What led to its growth and popularity?
The film industry mostly. It's now a densly populated area with several historic studios. 
What studios are located in Hollywood?
Paramount Pictures is an American film studio currently in Hollywood. 
I visited Hollywood last October and fell in love with the city. What else can you tell me about this fabulous city?
Well the name of the city comes from a story when a local chinese man was asked what he was doing and he said "I holly wood"
HaHa That is great! I've never heard that before. Are there any other studios in Hollywood today?
