Culver
City, located on the West Side of Los Angeles County, is best known for
film and TV production, including MGM studios, which is now part of Sony
Pictures. Some of the most famous films of all time were shot here,
including Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, and Gone With the Wind. Culver
City was founded by Harry Culver in 1913, a brilliant real estate developer
who sold track homes to "immigrants" from the Midwest. For a monthly
mortgage payment, the homes included furniture, dishes, a record player, and
sometimes even a Model T. In the 1920s, silent film comedy producer Hal
Roach and Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) built studios.
Hundreds of movies have been produced on the lots of Culver City's
studios, including The Tarzan series and the original King Kong. The Yellow
brick road from The Wizard of Oz is still inside the lot on Stage 27 of Sony
