Historical Data	Pacific Palisades is a district within the city of Los Angeles. In 1911, film director Thomas Ince created his Western film factory called Inceville. Years later, Rev. Charles H. Scott along with the Southern California Methodist Episcopal Church bought the land. In 1922, Rev. Scott founded Pacific Palisades, hoping to creat an elaborate religious-intellectual commune; three years later, in 1925, Pacific Palisades had 100 homes. Eventually, cabins were replaced by bungalows, and later, by multi-million dollar homes with amazing views.
