The William Morris Agency opened its first Los Angeles office in 1927 in the State Theatre Building, eight miles away from the city's downtown Broadway theatre district.

Today, the Agency is located at William Morris Plaza on El Camino Drive. In 1998, the street was re-named William Morris Place by the City of Beverly Hills on the occasion of William Morris' 100th Anniversary.
