Formation

The Founding of Our Neighborhood Council

On August 27, 2018, the North Westwood Neighborhood Council was chartered by the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners, making NWWNC the 98th Neighborhood Council in the City of Los Angeles.

The North Westwood Neighborhood Council was formed from the subdivision of an existing neighborhood council, the Westwood Neighborhood Council.
