Welcome to Hollywood, NM! As a local resident, I am excited to share with you the rich history and vibrant culture of our small town.

Ancient Roots
Long before Hollywood became a popular tourist destination, it was home to the Pueblo people who settled here over 700 years ago. The Pueblo people had a strong connection to the land and their culture is still reflected in many aspects of the town today. You can learn more about their traditional way of life by visiting the Pueblo of San Ildefonso, one of the 19 pueblos in New Mexico, located just a short drive from Hollywood.
