Back in the early 18th century, West Hollywood was a hunting ground to its early residents the Gabrielino Indians. In the early 1700s the Spanish came and the West Hollywood area became part of a land grant called Rancho La Brea. The West Hollywood area was a used as a grazing land for sheep and cattle. This land grant was bounded by Robertson Boulevard, Wilshire Boulevard, Gower Street and the Cahuenga Pass to Antonio Jose Rocha. Soon after, rancho La Brea was sold to Henry Hancock (name is memorialized in Hancock Park).

During the last quarter of the 19th century, the agricultural economy of the "foothills" strip, including what is now West Hollywood, began to change. This took place long after the lands of California was transferred from Mexican to U.S. hands. The Los Angeles which is 10 miles from the city has begun to show a vast changing in their market. The market products such as vegetables, and the frost-free foothills with near-surface ground water, were all available at a very affordable price. In the year 1874 a man named Don Eugenio Plummer purchased a portion of what is now the West Hollywood. That portion of land became a working place and a home for Don Eugenio Plummer. He built his own farm and started growing peas, beans, chilies, fruits and a variety of vegetables.

Moses H Sherman is one of Los Angeles' early movers. Moses H. Sherman created a plan on how to connect the Los Angeles with the fine beaches of Santa Monica. He came out with a plan to use an electric railway. But making this plan possible was such a big risk. Moses H. Sherman's Los Angeles Pacific Railway Company needed a place to put up car barns, metal shops, an electric generating station, offices, etc., needed to establish the electric railway.

In the year 1898, the electric railway was erected and became operational. This complex was placed at the western terminus of the Los Angeles. It was at the corner of Venice and San Vicente, where it intersected with a San Vicente Boulevard spur of the Venice Boulevard line. The station was named after Moses H. Sherman and was named as the “Sherman station.” The workers of the Sherman station put up a small neighborhood and started to build houses. The community became known as the town of "Sherman." The town of Sherman eventually spread north into the area and later became known as West Hollywood.

Soon After, the silent movie industry came and became active in places like Holywood and Beverly Hills. They began to establish a suburban satellite of the movie colony. The West Hollywood which is in the middle of Hollywood and Beverly became well known and became one of the finest and most rapidly growing cities in Los Angeles. The West Hollywood together with the two famous cities in Los Angeles, the Hollywood and Beverly Hills, are noted for its high class citizens and beautiful homes.
