The Hollywood Sign is an iconic landmark located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. Originally erected in 1923 to promote a real estate development called "Hollywoodland," the sign originally read "Hollywoodland" before being shortened to just "Hollywood" in 1949. The sign, which stands 45 feet tall and stretches 350 feet across the hillside, has become a symbol of the entertainment industry and a significant cultural icon. Over the years, it has undergone several restorations to maintain its appearance and structural integrity.
