The sign was originally created in 1923 as a temporary advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition, the sign was left up. The sign is protected and promoted by The Hollywood Sign Trust, a nonprofit organization.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce holds trademark rights to the Hollywood Sign.

Visitors can hike to the sign from the Bronson Canyon entrance to Griffith Park or from Griffith Observatory. [1]
