Historians recall the Cahuenga Pass as the site of the famous battle of Cahuenga in 1845. For the next 80 years, the Pass primarily served as a winding tributary permitting the turbulent expansion of the Los Angeles Basin spill over into the San Fernando Valley. It wasn’t until the mid-1920’s that developers realized the potential of the rolling slopes bordering the Pass. The then barren hills north of Cahuenga Ave and east of what is now Barham Blvd was designated the Hollywood Knolls. In 1939 the Hollywood Knolls Community Club was incorporated. Created through the common interest of Knoll’s property owners, it has continued as a cohesive force through the volunteer efforts of elected officers and diligent supporters. The Community Club is concerned with traffic, safety, property protection, and all matters which affect its members. It provides a means of introducing new residents to the area and it remains a forum for any resident interested in the betterment of the community. It is the oldest hillside residents’ association in Los Angeles. Over the years, the Club has grown to include Lakeridge Estates and the Hollywood Manor.
