Historical Background
Originally
part
of the
Ocean
Park
district
of
Santa
Monica
,
Abbot
Kinney's
vision
of
Venice
in
America
was
developed
starting
in
1904
,
complete
with a
canal
system
and
singing
gondoliers
.
Canal
construction
began
in
1904
, and in
1905
construction
of an
amusement
pier
began
.
Kinney's
plan
for
Venice
included
592
residential
lots
,
some
of
which
sold
for as
much
as
$2700
(a
high
price
at the
time)
"
Kinney
also
created
affordable
vacation
housing
for
visitors
. At
first
, there were
simple
tent
structures
that
could
be
rented
for
lower
prices
,
located
in an
area
known
as "
Tent
City
" but
around
1907
the
tents
were
replaced
with
small
bungalows
.
However
, as the
residential
housing
grew
,
many
Venice
visitors
decided
to
become
permanent
residents
.
Venice
formally
disincorporated
from
Ocean
Park
in
1911
, and in
1925
,
Venice
was
annexed
to the
city
of
Los
Angeles
. By
1929
,
many
of the
canals
had been
filled
in and
paved
as
roads
due
to
health
and
engineering
problems
.
