The first Hollywood studio was the Nestor Film Company, established in 1910. In 1919, Nestor became part of a merger that produced Universal. The iconic Hollywood sign went up in 1923 as a real-estate advertisement and originally read 'HOLLYWOODLAND'. It was bought and renovated by the Chamber of Commerce in 1949, after which the word 'LAND' was removed.
