A.E. Hanson began developing Hidden Hills in 1950 on just over 1,000 acres. He had already developed Rolling Hills on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Early lots were sold as one- to five-acre home sites. Residents voted for cityhood in 1961, and Hidden Hills became the 73rd city in Los Angeles County on October 19, 1961.
The Hidden Hills Community Association maintains 25 miles of bridle trails and six miles of roads, and reviews construction on 658 home sites. White three-rail fences line the roads, and the trails take the place of sidewalks. Architectural guidelines have long required space for horse-keeping.
Inside the gates, residents share three riding arenas, four tennis courts, a competition-size pool, a recreation center, and a 99-seat theater. The annual Fiesta and other community traditions keep the city close-knit.
