Aerial view of Hollywood, a community in Broward County,
Florida, between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Beach, focusing on the historic Hollywood Beach Resort. The community was founded in 1920 by entrepreneur John Wesley Young, Jr., who envisioned a “dream city” that would especially appeal to “snowbirds” who would buy property far from harsh northern climes. The town was first named “Hollywood-by-the-Sea,” a name that was later shortened. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2020.
