HISTORY
On August 15, 1912, Universal officially expanded its operation to the West Coast. It chose a 230-acre ranch across the road from where Mexican General Andre Pico and U.S. Colonel John Fremont signed the Treaty of Cahuenga in 1847. This site was to become “the entertainment center of the world” – Universal City.

On March 15, 1915, Carl Laemmle officially opened the gates of Universal City, the world’s first self-contained community dedicated to making movies. Although the studio formally opened in 1915, film production on the lot began in 1914. Damon and Pythias, co-starring William Worthington and Herbert Rowlinson, was the first picture completed at Universal City.

As movie production at Universal City increased, a steady stream of silent films, including westerns, comedies, and action-adventures, became Universal’s trademark. Laemmle also began inviting visitors to Universal City to observe his movie-making, establishing Universal’s long-standing tradition of welcoming guests to enjoy the magic behind the scenes. However, the Universal tour was temporarily halted in the late 1920s, when “talkies” became the norm and producers demanded a set free of visitor’s noses.
