On March 15, 1915 Carl Laemmle opened Universal Studios Lot on a 230-acre ranch in the San Fernando Valley. The site later became known as Universal City. This was considered the first self-contained community dedicated to making films.

In 1950, Universal Studios Lot increased its overall size to 400 acres after Universal acquired additional land at the southern border of the studio. Music Corporation of America (MCA Inc.) bought the Universal Studios Lot in 1958. Universal then leased back its property from MCA until MCA and Universal merged in 1962.

Over the next couple decades numerous television shows and movies were filmed on Universal Studios Lot. This includes Psycho, Back to the Future, War of the Worlds, and Desperate Housewives. Today, Universal Studios Lot is one of the largest full-service production facilities. It has continued to modernize and grow with plans to expand by adding additional soundstages and building facilities.
Studio Tour

Universal Studio Tour is a public attraction at Universal Studios that offers visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the historic studio lot.

The tour first opened in 1915 when Carle Laemmle invited visitors to see the studio in action. The Universal Tour was halted in the late 1920s and revived in 1964. Since then it has evolved through countless iterations, including new tour hosts, movie sets, and experiences.
