History
The area evolved from an agricultural settlement called Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas in 1828 to an independent city in January 1914. Construction of estates for film producers followed shortly after incorporation.

Shopping along Rodeo Drive and dining at well-known restaurants remain central to daily life for visitors and residents alike. The streets feel polished and quiet, with carefully maintained gardens and wide sidewalks that define the local rhythm.
