- A historic look at the Pacific Palisades through photographs reproduced here that have never before been published. Written by Jan Loomis and published in 2009.
- Today Pacific Palisades is synonymous with lovely homes and distinguished residents as well as rocky cliffs. Pacific Palisades owes its name to its geography. The cliffs looming above the beach reminded the early developers of the Hudson River Palisades in New York. The name for this eventually affluent coastal enclave of the city of Los Angeles was first used in 1906 for an area of Santa Monica homes. Palisades Park in Santa Monica hugs the top of the bluff. So it must have seemed natural to name the area north of the Santa Monica Palisades Pacific Palisades.
- Author Jan Loomis lived in the Pacific Palisades for 17 years and, as the archivist for the Santa Monica Land and Water Company, has preserved the early records of the development of Pacific Palisades. Loomis is also the author of Images of America: Brentwood.
