The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The area was incorporated as a village named Westwood in 1958. It was incorporated in the same year as the much larger city of Southfield to the south. By incorporating as a village, it prevented the area from being annexed into the city and allowed the village to retains its own autonomy. In 1959, the village changed its name to Beverly Hills.
