The Beginning…
It all began when Beverly Hills landscape architect A.E. Hanson was tapped by
landowner Frank A. Vanderlip Sr. to develop a community on part of the 1,000
acres of Palos Verdes Peninsula land that Vanderlip had acquired in 1913. In 1932,
Hanson began to sell the idea of developing the city’s large lots into single-family
vacation dude ranches, which eventually evolved into a development of one-story
luxury homes with a minimum lot size of one acre, allowing plenty of room to keep
and ride horses.
