The meaning of Toluca is Fertile and it originates from the Paiute Indians. The first post office was established in 1893 and it was named Toluca Post Office. Back in the 1920s, Toluca Lake was a ranch mostly comprised of peaches and apples. It was called the Forman Toluca Lake Ranch.
There was very little development in the area until and developer came in and purchased the area and changed the name to Toluca Lake Park and changed it from a ranch to a bedroom community.
Toluca Lake is essentially between Universal Studios and Warner Brothers. It touches the borders of Burbank, North Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills. The lake itself is 6 acres in size.
It used to have a dirt bottom but sometimes in the 1930s, army engineers cam it can cement the entire bottom 4 inches in thickness. The lake itself is maintained my be the residents who live on the lake through their very own HOA call ed the Toluca Lake Property Home Owners Association.
One of Toluca Lake's more notorious landmarks is well of course the lake itself. But unfortunately, it's only accessible by the residents who live on it or by the neighboring golf course. It is not open to the public at all.
Another very famous landmark that is open to the public is Bob Big Boy. It has been there since 1949. It was actually built by 2 residents of Toluca Lake Scott MacDonald and Ward Albert. In 1993 some changes were made including a remodel of the dining room and more importantly, they brought back the original car hop service again. Another unique event that happens every weekend is a classic car show. The entire parking lot will be full of classic cars. Mostly dating back to the 50's.
One last landmark worth mentioning is the St. Charles Borromeo Church.
It was established in 1921 and is one of the older churches in the area. It seats up to 600 and was modeled after the San Carlos Mission. It also maintains its adjacent catholic school.
Since Toluca Lake is such a small area, it doesn't contain very many schools within its area except for one, Toluca Lake Elementary School. But it is part of LAUSD and has access to schools in neighboring North Hollywood.
