SUMMARY

On This Day: On July 13, 1923, the iconic Hollywood sign was officially built in the hills above Hollywood, Los Angeles. The sign was originally created as a temporary advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition the sign was left up, and replaced in 1978 with a more durable all-steel structure. On the same day in 1966, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) popularly known as the Hare Krishna movement in New York City. Here are some more historical events that make July 13 special.
