Hollyood is an ethnically diverse, densely populated neighborhood in the 

central
regionof Los Angeles, California. It is notable as the home of the U.S. film industry, including
several of its historic studios, and its name has come to be ashorthand reference for the industry
and the people in it.
By 1900, the region had a post office, newspaper, hotel, and two markets. Los
Angeles, with a population of 102,479 lay 10 miles (16 km) east through the vineyards, barley
fields, andcitrus groves. A single-track streetcar line ran down the middle of Prospect Avenue
from it, but service was infrequent and the trip took two hours. The old citrus fruit-packing house
was converted into a livery stable, improving transportation for the inhabitants of Hollywood.
In the 17th century, Ulster ports began to rise in prominence. In 1625, William Pitt was appointed as
Customer of the ports of Newcastle, Dundrum, Killough, Portaferry, Donaghadee, Bangor and
Holywood.[4]
In the early 19th century, Holywood, like many other coastal villages throughout Ireland, became
popular as a resort for sea-bathing. Many wealthy Belfast merchants chose the town and the
surrounding area to build large homes for themselves. These included the Kennedys of Cultra and
the Harrisons of Holywood. Dalchoolin House stood on the site of the present Ulster Transport
Museum, while Cultra Manor was built between 1902–04 and now houses part of the Ulster Folk and
Transport Museum.
The railway line from Belfast to Holywood opened in 1848, and this led to rapid development. The
population of Holywood was approximately 3,500 in 1900 and had grown to 12,000 by 2001. This
growth, coupled with that of other towns and villages along the coastal strip to Bangor, necessitated
the construction of the Holywood Bypass in the early 1970s. Holywood today is a popular residential
area and is well known for its fashionable shops, boutiques, arts and crafts.
