Palos Verdes Estates

Palos Verdes Estates Background

   Palos Verdes means "green trees" in Spanish, and Palos Verdes Estates certainly lives up to the name. In 1913, Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National Bank of New York, bought the 6,000-acre Palos Verdes Peninsula from a local rancher in hopes of developing a  residential area on the site.
   The construction of the first homes in Palos Verdes Estates began in the early 1920s. The new community was designed and landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers, whose father designed New York's Central Park. Because of the brothers' love of nature, 28 percent of the city was dedicated to permanent open space. The city's flowering trees, lush paths and winding roads made it among the most scenic spots on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The city still boasts 849 acres of pure parkland, which gives Palos Verdes Estates its reputation as a "garden suburb."
   Today, the peninsula is made up of four cities: Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates. Palos Verdes Estates, which was incorporated in 1939, is the oldest residential community on the peninsula. Spanish-style architecture blends seamlessly with the city's lush landscapes to create a lovely place to live or visit.
