Discover Long Beach

People have lived on the Southern California coast for more than 10,000 years. When the Spanish arrived, the Tongva had at least three major settlements within today's Long Beach. One of them, Povuu'nga, was a trading and fishing center and was sacred as the place where the Tongva people emerged. By 1805 most of its people had been taken to Mission San Gabriel, where many died. In 1784 King Carlos III granted Rancho Los Nietos to the soldier Manuel Nieto, and Rancho Los Cerritos and Rancho Los Alamitos were later divided from it.

More about Long Beach

Juan Temple, a New Englander, bought Rancho Los Cerritos in 1843, built the adobe ranch house that is now a National Historic Landmark, and became the richest man in Los Angeles County. In 1866 he sold the rancho for $20,000 to Flint, Bixby & Company, and Jotham Bixby, called the "Father of Long Beach," managed it, with as many as 30,000 sheep in the 1870s. In 1880 Bixby sold 4,000 acres to William E. Willmore, whose farm town of Willmore City failed. A Los Angeles syndicate bought him out and renamed it Long Beach. John W. Bixby's Alamitos Land Company laid out Belmont Heights, Belmont Shore and Naples. Long Beach was incorporated in 1897 and grew as a seaside resort, and the Pike amusement zone operated from 1902 to 1969. Oil was struck on Signal Hill in 1921, and in the 1920s the Long Beach field was the most productive in the world. The magnitude 6.4 Long Beach earthquake of 1933 killed 120 people. Most of the damage was to unreinforced masonry buildings, especially schools. Sources Wikipedia: Long Beach, California
