====Providencia Ranch====
Filmmaking began in the [[Providencia Ranch]] area (marked in yellow on the Providencia Land, Water & Development Co. map in [[#Early history|this section]]). Nestor Studios began using the ranch location in 1911. The Providencia Ranch became part of the Universal Film Manufacturing operations on the Pacific/West Coast in 1912. From 1912 to 1914 Universal's ranch studio was also referred to as the Oak Crest Ranch. Carl Laemmle called the ranch "Universal City" as recorded in issues of ''[[The Moving Picture World]]'' Volume: 16 (April – June 1913). Universal City existed on the Providencia Land and Water property from 1912 to 1914. In 1914, the Oak Crest studio ranch and Hollywood studio operation would move to the new Universal City located on the Lankershim Land and Water property. The official public opening occurred on March 15, 1915, on the Lankershim Property. The new Universal City (three tracts of land) was much larger than the old Universal (Oak/Providencia) Ranch. The Universal Ranch tract of land became smaller after the 1914 move to the Taylor Ranch. The leased land surrounding the Universal ranch became the Lasky Ranch. The Providencia property was used as a filming location by other motion picture companies, most notably for battle scenes in ''[[The Birth of a Nation]]'' (1915).
