How Do I Get to Ehline Law from West Hollywood?
West Hollywood actually did not start off as being West Hollywood, but a town called Sherman. Sherman was founded in 1886 by the entrepreneur Moses Hazeltine Sherman. He bought this piece of land with the purpose of connecting Santa Monica and Los Angeles via Pacific and Pasadena railway. Years later, Moses Sherman had developed a small town right beside the rail yard and took on the name of its owner.
As the cinema scene gained more popularity in Hollywood, Sherman experienced a population growth. More and more movie stars and others involved with the film industry flocked here as Sherman’s borders expanded closer to the city of Hollywood. In 1925, the citizens of Sherman decided to change their name to West Hollywood to highlight its close proximity to its famed counterpart.
The small town fought many times to not become annexed into Los Angeles City. Due to their geographical location, West Hollywood wasn’t under the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Police Department, but was under the authority of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department which had different laws.

The county of Los Angeles was passing legislation involving an increase in rent. This increase in rent was having a negative impact upon the residents of West Hollywood and the city wanted to protect them from losing their homes.

But ultimately, members of the LGBTQ community fled the city to West Hollywood where they could seek refuge from police brutality. In addition, Russian immigrants settled here to escape the Soviet Union. Together, the community of LGBTQ, Russians, and elderly people of West Hollywood voted their town into an official city.
