I was very fortunate to live in the City for 17 years and must attest to the fact this is one the finest cities in the USA. The City is safe, welcoming to visitors, along with the City Govt keeping the area a fine city to live and visit. I retired and moved to Europe and have wonderful memories of Beverly Hills.
Thank you, very interesting, fascinating and educational! From what I've heard and read this hard core New Englander found that Beverly Hills was named after Beverly, MA? Unfortunately, "California is like a beautiful woman dying of cancer'..per the late great American actor/humanitarian Paul Newman who raised his family in beautiful Connecticut! Tend to agree with him! L.A. is way too over-developed, has too much congested traffic and lots of pollution along with a real affordable housing shortage/homelessness crisis along with intense heat waves and those wildfires due to Global Warming/Climate change which is real and not a "liberal hoax"! But, that housing/homeless crisis is "from sea to shining sea", only worst in California! Everytime I read about how the L.A. area used to smell of the famous lemon and orange groves in the past, I imagine how wonderful that must have been back in the day, far better than the smog/pollution and smoke from wildfires and then there are the mudslides not to mention the occasional earthquakes! There are pros and cons to every city and state so there is really no Utopia! Before cars/trucks there was the smell of horse dung and unpaved roads so it's about finding that balance between the pros and cons! ♥
Thank you for this great video! I love Beverly Hills, such an amazing history. Don't know how this has escaped me until now.

That’s a great endorsement! You liked Beverly Hills so much that you moved to Europe and never went back.
There was a military school in the area “Mont Lowe Military Academy” I was a student there for 2 years 1957-58.
I went to Beverly Vista Elementary 1958-59. I loves ya!
Now it's been taken over by super cars. 😂

And just think all of that land was stolen from the indians
And what would the Indians have done with it , build casinos 😬.
Probably
Yeah! What do you know? It wasn't white folk.
You say build casinos as if to offend, however all it does is show your great ignorance
Who themselves stole it.
Now I know why Rodeo drive is pronounced like a spanish word and not like an american word Rodeo .. Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas..
Now it makes sense lol.
Roh-DAY-oh sounds more snobby.
Murrieta California is the new Beverly Hills
Seems to me there were no indigenous peoples, if they themselves came from elsewhere to occupy the land.
Anyway, when do the high school highlights of Bill Walton start?
