Originally a Spanish ranch where lima beans were grown, Beverly Hills was incorporated in 1914 by a group of investors who had floundered to find oil, but found water instead and eventually decided to precarious it into a town. The town/city includes the Rodeo Drive shopping precinct and the Beverly Hills Oil Field. Gaspar de Portola appeared in the region that would later turn into Beverly Hills on August 3, 1769, travelling along native trails which followed the present-day route of Wilshire Boulevard. Balch, formed the Amalgamated Oil Company, bought the Hammel and Denker ranch, and began looking for oil. They did not find enough to exploit commercially by the standards of the time, though. In 1906, therefore, they reorganized as the Rodeo Land and Water Company, retitled the property "Beverly Hills," subdivided it, and began selling lots. The evolution was titled "Beverly Hills" after Beverly Farms in Beverly, Massachusetts and because of the hills in the area. The first home in the subdivision was assembled in 1907, although revenue remained slow. Beverly Hills was one of many all-white prepared communities started in the Los Angeles region around this time.

The Beverly Hills Utility Commission was split off from the territory business and incorporated in September 1914, buying all of the utilities-related assets from the Rodeo Land and Water Company.
