The Hollywood District (originally Hollyrood, after the Scottish Holyrood) is a neighborhood of northeast Portland, Oregon renamed for its historic 1920s era Hollywood Theatre. Although a mixed commercial and residential area, it serves primarily as a shopping district to the adjacent neighborhoods of Grant Park and Laurelhurst, as well as riders of the MAX Light Rail System. Hollywood also figures in Beverly Cleary's Klickitat Street series of books, a fact memorialized in a display at the neighborhood library. Details on a Beverly Cleary walking tour are available at the library. The Hollywood District was originally part of the Rose City Park subdivision which was platted in 1907. The original Rose City Park subdivision was part of a land claim of Joseph Backenstos, which was assigned to his widow by President Andrew Johnson in 1866. Early maps, around 1890, refer to this area as the Crook Tract. Hollywood Theatre.The Hollywood District is home to the Hollywood Farmers Market, a seasonal farmers market located on northeast Hancock between 44th and 45th Avenues. It is open Saturdays from 8 AM to 1 PM between May and October, and between 9 AM and 1 PM in November. The Hollywood Boosters started "Hollywood at Night" in summer of 2006. This is a monthly neighborhood event that takes place on the third Thursday of every month to bring together together residents and local businesses.
