Hollywoodland was the name of the housing development being built there at the time.

There's not many people who know that. I do know that it used to be Hollywoodland but when it started to produce many stars and movies they shortened it. There is a movie called Hollywoodland maybe that could answer your question. If not do deeper research.

Even the origins of its name are in dispute, and the dispute is so Hollywood: First, there's the most likely origin, taken from a native shrub, the Toyon, also known as California holly. Then there's the land developer whose wife met a woman on a train whose Ohio home was called Hollywood
