Culver City is a city in western Los Angeles County, California.
Morgage As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 38,816. The community is mostly surrounded by the city of Los Angeles but
also has a border with unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The current mayor is Gary
Silbiger.
Since the 1920s, Culver City has been a significant center for motion picture and later television
production in part because it was the home of MGM Studios. It also was the headquarters for the
Hughes Aircraft Company from the 1930s to the 1980s. National Public Radio West and Sony Pictures
Entertainment now have headquarters in the city.
Culver City was founded by Harry Culver in 1913, and the city was incorporated on September 20, 1917.
The first film studio morgage quote
in Culver City was built by Thomas Ince in 1918. In the 1920s, silent film
comedy producer Hal Roach and Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) built studios there. During Prohibition,
speakeasies and nightclubs such as the Cotton Club lined Washington Boulevard.
In the 1990s, Culver City leaders launched a successful revitalization program in which it renovated
its downtown as well as several shopping centers in the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor near Fox Hills
Mall. Around the same time, the relocation of Sony's motion picture operations (known as Columbia
Pictures)[6] to the former MGM studios at Washington Boulevard and Overland Avenue brought much-needed
jobs to the city.
The influx of
many art galleries to various parts of the city, formally designated as the Culver City
Art District, prompted the New York Times in 2007 to praise the new art scene and call Culver City a
"nascent Chelsea."
The first phase of the
Los Angeles Home Values Expo line, a Light Rail line from Downtown Los Angeles to a temporary terminus
near Venice and Robertson Blvds. in Culver City started in 2006, with an estimated completion date in
2010. The line mostly follows the right of way which the Pacific Electric Santa Monica Air Line used.
The stated intent of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority is that the line eventually
be extended westward to Santa Monica, again mostly along the existing right of way with the possible
exception of going through the Home Values
commercial strip of Venice Blvd.
