December 8th marks the 97th anniversary of the lighting of the Sign!

From our history: The date construction began on the Hollywood Sign can’t be verified, but it was definitely completed prior to December 8, 1923. A Los Angeles Evening Express newspaper article published on that date stated, “… immense Hollywoodland Sign, believed to be the largest in the world, will be illuminated tonight.”

Articles come out around July 13 claiming that the Sign was dedicated on this day. That is incorrect. We do not know the exact date the Sign was dedicated. We know that one of the developers died July 6, 1923 and that the Sign was completed before December 8, 1923 because it was mentioned in a Los Angeles Evening Express article.

At the time of its creation, the Sign was a billboard during a time when large novelty billboards were all the rage. It’s possible that it was put up without much fanfare. Or if it had a dedication ceremony, that date is lost at the moment.
