Beverly Hills is a city in the city. It is surrounded by Los Angeles. A very prestigious city established only for the elite. Only few people can afford to buy a house here, but you can take a walk at any time. The Tongva Indians, who once lived in these places, called Beverly Hills “Water Accumulation” and considered it sacred. 

Beverly Hills has a long history, since 1769. The pioneer Gaspar de Portola discovered these lands. He also was the first governor of California. At the beginning of the 19th century, there were the first ranches. In 1919, the first American-actor Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford settled here. A bit later, such actors as Charlie Chaplin, Tom Mix, Will Rogers and many others followed their example.

Los Angeles had several attempts to annex Beverly Hills. It affirmed that the city needed clean drinking water, and the annexation would make its connection easier. But all attempts have failed, and Beverly is still a city in the city. After the Second World War, it was constantly developing. 

Now, Kurt Russell, Steven Spielberg, Kim Kardashian, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis and many other celebrities live in Beverly. The estates of the actors occupy large areas, some of them you can see through the fences. Many tourists walking along the streets can even meet famous people.
