About Manhattan Beach
The Manhattan Beach wiki gives us these details about the town:
“Manhattan Beach is a city located in southwestern Los Angeles County, California. Its population was 33,852 at the 2000 census. The city is on the Pacific coast, south of El Segundo, and north of Hermosa Beach. Manhattan Beach is the home of both beach and indoor volleyball, and surfing; during the winter, the waves can get as big as 12 feet. It is one of the three Beach Cities in the South Bay.
Manhattan Beach is a very affluent beach town within commuting distance of Los Angeles and therefore it is one of the most expensive coastal towns in which to live in America, according to the most recent Fortune Magazine rankings.”
The city web site adds these historical details:
“Cities such as this don’t just appear — yet, comparatively speaking, the history of Manhattan Beach covers a relatively short span. In its earliest days, Manhattan Beach was part of the ten-mile ocean frontage of Rancho Sausal Redondo, which means “Round Clump of Willows.” At one time the area was called “Shore Acres” by George Peck, who owned a section of the north end of town. …
After World War II a large influx of people came as a result of the desirability of the area for year-round living. Servicemen visiting during the war returned to live here. The development of the defense industry brought many people to the South Bay to reside and work. Much of the land east of Sepulveda was developed to house the influx of people.”
