response: Nope, the name was coined by HJ Whitley also known as the ''Father of Hollywood.''
history: Hollywood seems like such a strange place to me.  Never been though so what do I know! I see. Well it has a strange origin story. Supposedly the name comes from a Chinese man who said he was hauling wood. No way.  Are you kidding?
knowledge: According to the diary of H. J. Whitley, known as the ''Father of Hollywood,'' on his honeymoon in 1886 he stood at the top of the hill looking out over the valley.
