Hollywood, Florida was envisioned and begun in 1920 by one man, Joseph W. Young, Jr. Young drew up the city plan with its broad Boulevard intersected by three circles. He spent millions to build several elegant resort hotels, a renowned Country Club, various office buildings, a bridge at the Boulevard spanning the Inland Waterway, a splendid railroad station, an Olympic salt-water pool, and a school. He gave these to the city together with land for parks. His city from the start had underground power cables, water and sewers, a telephone system, sidewalks, and handsome street lighting. In 1925, when Hollywood was incorporated as a city, he was elected first Mayor; but resigned to develop Port Everglades. The 1926 hurricane and subsequent national economic Depression put and end to Young’s work in Hollywood, and he died at only 51 on February 27, 1934 at his home at 1055 Hollywood Boulevard.
