North Hollywood is bordered on the north by Sun Valley and on the northeast and east by Burbank.
Toluca Lake borders North Hollywood on the southeast and south, and Studio City abuts it on the southwest.
"North Hollywood" is a broad term; some may generally refer to the region between Burbank and State Route 170 south of Sherman Way as "North Hollywood", even including areas not strictly a part of the neighborhood.
North Hollywood was once part of the vast landholdings of the Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana, which was confiscated by the government amid the Mexican reconstructionof rule.
A group of investors assembled as the San Fernando Farm Homestead Association purchased the southern half of the Rancho Ex-Mission San Fernando.[when?] The dominant shareholder was Isaac Lankershim, a Northern California stockman and grain farmer, who was impressed by the Valley's wild oats and proposed to raise sheep on the property.
In time the Lankershim property, under its third name, the Los Angeles Farming and Milling Company, would turn into the world's biggest wheat-growing empire. Lankershim and eight other developers organized the Lankershim Ranch Land and Water Company, purchasing 12,000 acres (49 km2) north of the Cahuenga Pass from the Lankershim Farming and Milling Company. Lankershim established a townsite which the inhabitants named Toluca along the old road from Cahuenga Pass to San Fernando.
Lankershim School, positioned near what is now the intersection of Vineland and Riverside, and the first school in the San Fernando Valley, c.1889 In 1912, the area's primary employer, the Bonner Fruit Company, was canning over a million tons of peaches, apricots, and other fruits. When the Los Angeles Aqueduct opened in 1913, Valley farmers offered to buy the surplus water, but the federal legislation that enabled the assembly of the waterway prohibited Los Angeles from selling the water outside of the town/city limits. When droughts hit the valley again, clean water face foreclosure, the most vulnerable farmers agreed to mortgage their holdings to the fruit packing business and banks in Los Angeles for the immediate future and vote on annexation. West Lankershim (more or less today's Valley Village) agreed to be took in to the City of Los Angeles in 1919, and Lankershim proper in 1923. Much of the promised water bringy was withheld, and many of the ranchers one by one had their holding foreclosed or transferred to the packing companies.
As part of this accomplishment, in 1927, in an accomplishment to capitalize on the glamour and adjacency of Hollywood, Lankershim was retitled "North Hollywood". The result was a massive evolution of housing which transformed the region into a suburban evolution of Los Angeles.
