The History, & Population of Studio City, Los Angeles

Studio City’s History-

It was then made into ranch land, where Lankershim Ranch Land & Water Company was founded and established until 1899. From there, the water rights were then transferred over to Los Angeles and was then a subdivision of the county.  

In 1908 the development began of the Los Angeles aqueduct where water was to reach places as far as the San Fernando Valley, which it did in November of 1913. It was then that proper real estate flourished, where many laid their hands-on land development, establishing the present Studio City of today. This was thanks to many men such as Hobart Johnstone Whitley, who was the one who acquired many of the land deeds that Lankershim once obtained.  

Then in 1927, Mack Sennet began to build new studios along with the newly developed city, where Studio City would be centered around it.
