Hollywood, first called Hollywood-by-the-Sea, was planned from the ground up by Joseph W. Young Jr. (1882 to 1934) during the 1920s land boom, and Young became its first mayor in 1925. The 1939 Federal Writers' Project guide described 1,500 trucks and tractors clearing land, and two yacht basins designed by General George W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama Canal. When the city's lights first came on, ships at sea reported that Miami was on fire. Young's own house, built in 1925, is on the National Register.

In August 1923 Young announced Liberia, a town for African Americans near the established Black community in Dania, with 40 blocks around a circular park. His company built four houses and donated land for schools, churches and parks.
The 1926 Miami hurricane hit Hollywood hard; local papers said only Miami lost more. The town later drew winter residents from the North, and by 1960 it had more than 2,400 hotel units. The Council Oak Tree in Hollywood, listed on the National Register on December 4, 2012, marks the meetings that led to the Seminole Tribe of Florida's constitution.
