North Hollywood, located in the eastern San Fernando Valley, originated as an independent city which went by the name of "Lankershim" before annexation into the City of Los Angeles. In more recent years, the neighborhood has become of the most densely populated in the Valley, and is home to both the NoHo Arts District and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. It is also a major transportation hub, serving as the nexus point between the Orange Line busway and the Red Line subway. (Source: Wikipedia)
