According to locals, the subdivision was named after a family whose home stood on what it now the city-maintained Reynier Park at 2803 Reynier Avenue. The residential subdivision was developed about 1921 by a real estate company. In 1929 the association was vocally opposed to an increase in Pacific Electric streetcar fares, especially on the neighboring
Venice Short Line. In 1930 the group requested public fire alarm boxes for "that section from National boulevard to
Pico boulevard and extending from
Venice boulevard to the hills west of Robertson bouleyard in the district of Raynier Park". In 1931 the group was advocating for the channelization of
Ballona Creek. In 1934 the newly constructed
Benedict Canyon creek storm drain alleviated previously common street flooding "kept the area in
Palms and Reynier Park near the
Alexander Hamilton high school comparatively dry" and thus
Culver City buses were rerouted to
Robertson instead of
Washington during the rains. ==Geography==
