Hollywood Sign Is Dedicated (1923)
The iconic Hollywood sign overlooking the community, which spells out its name in 50-foot (15-meter) high white letters originally said "Hollywood land".
It was erected as an advertisement for a real estate firm promoting a new housing development with that name.
Though not intended to be permanent, the sign quickly became an internationally recognized landmark, and the last four letters were removed in 1949.
