Forty-one years ago, West Hollywood's Cityhood was proposed by an unlikely coalition of LGBTQ activists, seniors, and renters. These groups came together to form a City like no other with progressive policies and strong tenants' rights protections. Through tireless determination, the City of West Hollywood was officially incorporated as an independent municipality on November 29, 1984. Previously, West Hollywood had been an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County.

The City of West Hollywood continually sets new standards for other municipalities. The City is a leader in many critical social movements including: HIV and AIDS advocacy; affordable and inclusionary housing; LGBTQ+ and human rights; women's rights; animal rights; and protection of our environment. The City also sets a high bar in: fiscal responsibility; city planning; infrastructure; social services delivery; wellness and recreation programs; senior services and aging-in-place programs; public and community arts; and community engagement.
