This famous sign is now iconic. What was the area originally called?

What would Hollywood be without the iconic Hollywood sign? It certainly wouldn't inspire the glamor and glitz that it's become known for. But the sign has a less-than-glamorous origin story. It was created as an advertisement for a local real estate development and originally read "Hollywoodland". Just doesn't have the same ring to it.
