History

The earliest inhabitants of the area were Chumash people. [8]

The community was designed and developed in the 1950s by A. E. Hanson, a Southern California landscape architect and planned community developer. [9] [10] His earlier projects included Rolling Hills [11] and Palos Verdes Estates, and the 1920s Beverly Hills Harold Lloyd Estate "Greenacres".

Vanity Fair described the city in 2017:

[W]ith its absence of sidewalks and streetlights, copious "Horses & children at play" signage, and abundant 2-acre lots surrounded by white three-rail fences, Hidden Hills exudes a certain rough-around-the-edges charm. [12]

Originally conceived of as a "rustic retreat" from LA, it is now described as the "glitzy epicenter of Nouveau Hollywood" [13] and an "uber-elite enclave". [14]


Geography

It is a gated residential community with a total area of 1.688 square miles (4.37 km2), all land. [15]

Hidden Hills is in the southern Simi Hills Transverse range near the Santa Monica Mountains on the western edge of San Fernando Valley, near the border with neighboring Ventura County. [16]

Hidden Hills is bordered on the north by the nature reserve and greenbelt of the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve, a park with miles of equestrian, hiking, and mountain biking trails. Nearby to the south, is the pioneer Leonis Adobe National Historic Landmark, with gardens and a historical museum. The city lies just north of U.S. Route 101, also called the Ventura Freeway.
