Area Information: Beverly Hills

From a population of 29 at the time of the first census in 1836, 550 at time of incorporation in 1914, and 18,000 in 1930, the City has grown to over 32,000 at the time of the 1960 census. According to the United States Census Department, the 1990 population was 31,971.

The period since World War II has seen the growth of an outstanding business and financial section which joins with beautiful homes to create a complete city. Imposing banks, exclusive shops, superlative hotels and brokerage houses stand side by side. Over 200,000 people work in the City. More than 1500 business licenses have been issued for doctors, lawyers and accountants. A full complement of service clubs and professional organizations serve the needs of these people.

However, the growth of the commercial area has not lessened the beauty and desirability of the residential area. A high level of municipal services, parks, library, recreation programs, schools and churches all contribute to make Beverly Hills the "Garden Spot of the World."
