Huntington Beach History
|
Manuel Nieto acquired a large section of land which included the Huntington Beach area in a Spanish land grant called Las Bolsas in 1797. The the Huntington Beach area was later transferred to Stearns Ranch Holdings which were converted to farms as the former range lands of today's northern Huntington Beach, Westminster, and Fountain Valley were developed during the land boom of the 1880's. This led to the establishment of United States Post Offices schools and churches.
In 1902, a group of farmers and investors a residential resort community on the bluff overlooking Shell Beach called "Pacific City" based on the success of Atlantic City on the East Coast. These early entrepreneurs hoped to capitalize on a new development trend in coastal resort cities such as Long Beach and Newport Beach, but their efforts proved to be overly ambitious.
The huge undertaking was subsequently sold to a group of businessmen from Los Angeles, one of which was Henry E. Huntington. Huntington had already planned to expand his Pacific Electric Railway into coastal Orange County. On July 4, 1904, the first Red Cars of the Pacific Electric rolled into the newly renamed city of Huntington Beach.
