It's an era commonly known as "Polynesian pop", which started in the 1930s in Los Angeles. There is a book called "The Book of Tiki" that..... :D

No, all kidding aside, I don't think it's Montrose-specific. There are neighborhoods all over Los Angeles that have taken their street and place names from the Islands, for example "Hawaiian Gardens". When Jeff Berry still was my neighbor here in Silverlake, he lived on Aloha Street.
