The district was created in 1925 after a new city charter was passed, which replaced the former "at large" voting system for a nine-member council with a district system with a 15-member council. Between 1923 and 1987, District 1 represented all, then parts, of the San Fernando Valley. Beginning its existence in the Hollywood area, it now covers much of the far eastern and southeastern portions of the San Fernando Valley and parts of the Crescenta Valley.
