History
Originally established as Samples on December 14, 1883, the town was renamed as Hollywood on May 13, 1887. It formally incorporated on May 24, 1897, and held its first election on June 8 of that year.
In 1994, it and 10 other towns named Hollywood successfully fought Hollywood, California’s attempt to trademark its name and force same-named communities to pay royalties to it. A key point was that Hollywood in Alabama was the first incorporated Hollywood in the nation, whereas the one in California did not incorporate until 1903, 6 years after Alabama’s. In addition, it merged with Los Angeles in 1910 and was no longer identified as a separate city.
