It was originally “Hollywoodland”.

In 1949, the LA Parks Dept set about repairing & rebuilding the sign and at that point the contract stipulated that "LAND" be removed to spell "Hollywood" to better reflect the district, and no longer the housing development. pic.twitter.com/A0rPIiPR1y
Did you know originally, the sign read 'Hollywoodland?' Its main purpose was to advertise the name of the newly allotted housing land in the hills. #InterestingFactsAboutRealEstate #RealEstate #RealEstateAgent #NewBusiness pic.twitter.com/YCsUOXZnYH
