[[Hollywood Sign#Origin|A large sign reading ''HOLLYWOODLAND'']] was erected in the [[Hollywood Hills]] in 1923 to advertise real estate developers Woodruff's and Shoults' housing development. In 1949, the [[Hollywood Chamber of Commerce]] entered a contract with the City of Los Angeles to repair and rebuild the sign. The agreement stipulated that ''LAND'' be removed to spell ''HOLLYWOOD'' so the sign would now refer to the district, rather than the housing development.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KnzsAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA94|title=The New Historical Dictionary of the American Film Industry|last=Slide|first=Anthony|date=February 25, 2014|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781135925543|page=94|language=en}}</ref>
