Historic
Selig Zoo
The Selig Zoo in Los Angeles, California was an early 20th century animal collection managed by Col. W.N. Selig for use in Selig Polyscope Company films and as a tourist attraction. Over the years the zoo was also known as the Luna Park Zoo, California Zoological Gardens, Zoopark, and, eventually, Lincoln Amusement Park.
Why it's on the map
The first Tarzan movie (1918) was filmed there.
In 1920 Louis B. Mayer rented his first studio space for Mayer Pictures at the site.
