History

The area now known as Huntington Beach was originally inhabited by the Tongva people. Spanish settlers arrived in the late 1700s, establishing the Bolsa Chica and Las Bolsas land grants. In the early 1900s, real estate developer Henry E. Huntington purchased land in the area for a seaside resort, leading to the city's incorporation in 1909. The discovery of oil in the 1920s spurred further growth, and the city continued to expand over the 20th century into a major beach destination and suburban community.
