From 1920 to 1930, Culver City’s population grew by 1011%, which sounds astounding but in reality, in 1920, there probably weren’t very many people living in the area. An aerial shot I recently posted of the Goldwyn Studios in 1918 showed a lot of empty land. Plus, in 1924, Goldwyn Pictures merged with Metro Pictures and Louis B. Mayer Pictures to create MGM, which soon became a major force in the film industry and consequently a major employer, not to mention the studios currently known as the Culver Studios but back in the 20s were the Ince Studios, then De Mille studios, then Pathé. So I’d imagine employees at these studios moved to Culver City so that they could be nearer to their workplace.
