Huntington Beach (locally initialized "HB") is known for its long stretches of 9.5 miles (15.3 km) of sandy beaches, mild climate, excellent surfing, and beach culture. Sea waves are enhanced by the natural effects caused by the open sea edges around Santa Catalina Island. Swells are generated mainly from the North Pacific in the winter and from a combination of Southern Hemisphere storms and storms in summer focus in Huntington Beach, creating consistent waves throughout the year, hence the nickname "Surf City".

Histori
The area was originally occupied by the Tongva people. The European settlement can be traced to a Spanish soldier, Manuel Nieto, who in 1784 received a Spanish land grant of 300,000 hectares (1,200 km 2 ), Rancho Los Nietos, as a reward for his military service and to encourage settlements in Alta California. The western region of Nieto was reduced in 1790 due to a dispute with the Mission of San Gabriel, but it retained thousands of acres stretching from the hills north of Whittier, Fullerton and Brea, south to the Pacific Ocean, and from the Los Angeles River today in the west, to the Santa Ana River to the east.
The main street of Huntington Beach, Beach Boulevard, was originally a cattle route for Rancho's main industry. Since time as a gift from a huge Spanish land grant, Huntington Beach has undergone many incarnations. Once known as Shell Beach, the town of Smeltzer, and then the Gospel Swamp for a revival meeting held in the swamplands where the current Golden West College college can be found. Later he became known as Fairview and then Pacific City, as it developed into a tourist destination. To secure access to the Pacific Electric Red Car line used to cross the Los Angeles and end up in Long Beach, Pacific City handed over enormous power to the giant railway company Henry E. Huntington, and thus became the city whose name had been written to in corporate sponsorship, and like much of Southern California's history, boosterism.
Huntington Beach Pier was built in 1904 and originally a 1,000-foot wooden building. Huntington Beach was founded on February 17, 1909 during the term of his first mayor, Ed Manning. The original developer was Huntington Beach Company (formerly West Coast Land and Water Company), a real estate development company owned by Henry Huntington. Huntington Beach Company is still the main landowner in town, and still has most of the local mineral rights. The company is now wholly owned by Chevron Corporation.
At one time, an encyclopedia company handing out free land (with the purchase of a whole set for $ 126) in the Huntington Beach area. Lucky buyers got more than they bargained when oil was discovered in the area, and a massive development of oil reserves followed. Although many of the old reserves have run out, and the price of land for housing has driven many rigs from the landscape, oil pumps can still be found in the city.
Huntington Beach mainly farms in the early years with plants such as lima beans, asparagus, chili, celery and sugar beets. Holly Sugar is a large company with a large processing plant in the city which is then converted into an oil refinery.
The city's first high school, Huntington Beach High School, located on Main Street, was built in 1906. The school team, Oilers, is named after the city's original natural resources.
Meadowlark Airport, a small public airport airport, was in Huntington Beach from the 1940s to 1989.

There are only two off-shore extraction facilities left, however, and today is not far away when the oil production in the city will stop and tourism will replace it as the main source of income for the industrial population.
The city discusses the closure of Main Street to the car from PCH through shopping areas and retail restaurants, making it a pedestrian zone only. Other shopping centers include Bella Terra, built in the former Huntington Center location, Pacific City which opened in 2015, and Old World Village, a German-themed center.
Huntington Beach has an offshore oil terminal for tankers that support Alaska Pipeline. The terminus pipe runs inland to a refinery in Santa Fe Springs. Huntington Beach also has a Gothard-Talbert terminal for the Orange County part of the pipeline that runs from the Chevron El Segundo refinery.
Some hotels have been built on the inland side of the Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) in coastal scenery, just south-east of the pier.
Huntington Beach contains a small industrial estate in the northwest corner, near the border with Westminster and Seal Beach.
Huntington Beach contains a major installation of Boeing, formerly McDonnell-Douglas.

Huntington Beach is also home to the headquarters of Cambro Manufacturing, an international foodservice company, with two manufacturing facilities in the city.
trademarks of Surf City USA
While Huntington Beach retained its 15-year trademark at Surf City Huntington Beach, the Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau filed four applications to register the trademark "Surf City USA" in November 2004. The idea was to market the city by creating an authentic brand. based on the Southern California coastal culture and active outdoor lifestyle while at the same time creating a family of product license holders operating like a franchise family that generates revenue streams that can also be dedicated to promoting brands and cities. Decisions by the US Patent and Trademark Office released on 12 May 2006 provide three trademark registrations to the Bureau; nine additional trademark registrations have been given since now and ten other trademarks of Surf City USA are under consideration. One of the first products the Bureau developed to promote its brand was Surf City USA Beach Cruiser by Felt Bicycles in 2006. The product is sold out annually in markets around the world and creates a demand for a second rental bike model that will be marketed to resort locations across the world began in 2009. The bureau now has dozens of other licensed products in the market from Surf City USA soft drinks to clothing to glassware. In April 2008, the Bureau has more than 20 licensed partners with more than 50 different products prepared to enter the market over the next 18 months. Four of the trademark bureau registrations are now on the main list and the ten remaining trademark applications are expected to follow. The Bureau is actively considering the trademark registration of Surf City USA in several different countries and anticipates the growing market for overseas branded products in the coming years.
An ongoing dispute between Huntington Beach and Santa Cruz, California over the trademark collects national publicity in 2007 when a law firm representing Huntington Beach sent a stop-and-drop letter to the Santa Cruz shirt vendor. A settlement was reached in January 2008, allowing the Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau to retain the trademark.

Surf and beach
George Freeth was the first to surf in Huntington Beach with a demonstration on June 20, 1914. Freeth has demonstrated surfing in southern California as a promotion for the city by Henry E. Huntington. Duke Kahanamoku began surfing in Huntington Beach in 1925 and helped popularize the sport. The first board store, located under Huntington Beach Pier, was opened in 1956 by Gordie Duane.
Apart from sponsored surfing events, Huntington Beach has some of the best surfing holidays in the State of California and the United States. Huntington Beach has four different beaches: Northwest, West, Southwest, and South. Northwest consists of Bolsa Chica State Beach with a length of 3.3 miles (5.3 km), the West consists of "The Cliffs" or "Dog Beach", Southwest is considered everything north of the jetty operated by the City of Huntington Beach. The south consists of everything south of the pier which mainly focuses on Huntington State Beach (2.2 Miles), which is almost facing South.
Bolsa Chica State Beach is operated by the State of California, Dept. Parks & amp; Recreation, and Beach Lifeguards Bolsa Chica. The beach is very narrow and the sand is very rough. Bolsa Chica tends to have better waves with NW/W waves during the winter. During the summer months, the beach takes the south/southwest waves with a very steep angle. Due to the bottom of the beach, surfing in Bolsa Chica tends to be slowed and perfected into soft shoulders. Longboards is the best choice for surfing in the Bolsa Chica area.
"The Cliffs" or "Dog Beach" is also another popular surfing spot. This Huntington Beach segment gets these names because dogs are allowed around the cliff area. The beach is very limited and often submerged with high tides. Surfing in this location tends to be larger than Bolsa Chica during the winter and is often better. During the summer most of the South/Southwest waves are shifted precisely and often badly damaged. The best option is to take a longboard, but shortboards will be done at times. Dolphins have also been seen in this area.
Just north and south of Huntington Beach Pier are some well defined mounds that are shifting year-round with different waves. Southside of the Pier is often a popular destination during the summer for good surfing, but the North side can also be the same during the winter. Around the Wharf it all depends on the waves and the sand dune. Short boards are your best option for surfing around the Pier.
South Huntington Beach, also known as Huntington State Beach, is where all the south waves impact on the coastline. Huntington State Beach is operated by the State of California, Department of Parks & amp; Recreation, and Huntington State Coast Guard. The beach is very spacious with lots of sand. Sandbars dramatically shift during spring, summer, and autumn, thus creating excellent wave conditions with a combination of South/West/Northwest waves. Due to the Santa Ana River pier located at the southernmost tip of the coast, a large sand dune stretches and rises upward, forcing the waves to rot very quickly and hollow. The best seasons for surfing this beach are summer and autumn. The best choice for surfing in this area is the shortboard.
Huntington Beach is also a popular destination for kite surfing, and this sport can be seen on the northwest coast of the pier.
Huntington Beach is the host city of the National Professional Paintball League Super 7 Paintball Championships. The NPPL held its first event of the year traditionally between March 23 and March 26.
Huntington Beach also hosts the annual Surf City USA Marathon and Half-Marathon, which is usually held on the first Sunday of February.
Parks and recreation
Huntington Beach has a large central park, known as Huntington Central Park. Central Park is located between Gothard and Edwards Streets to the east and west, and Slater and Ellis Avenues to the north and south. Dedicated on June 15, 1974, Huntington Central Park is the largest city-owned park in Orange County with nearly 350 acres (140 ha). The park is vegetated with xeric plants (low water use), and is inhabited by native wildlife. The dense forest surrounding the park comes with Australian trees, especially Blue Gum Eucalyptus, a high water-use plant.
The Huntington Beach Public Library is located in Central Park in a famous building designed by Richard Neutra and Dion Neutra. It holds nearly half a million volumes, as well as theaters, souvenir shops and fountains. The library was established as a Carnegie library in 1914, and continues to be supported by local towns and activists, with new buildings and active branches in Banning, Oak View, Main Street, and Graham. The library has significant local history material and has a special collection of genealogical references. It does not depend on state and county library systems.
The park is also home to Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, an upscale dormitory facility that also offers public horse rentals, with park-guided trail rides. There is also a "mud garden" available for children. The world's second oldest disc disc golf course is available in the park, such as two small dining areas, an adult sport complex, and Shipley Nature Center.

Huntington Dog Beach
Huntington Dog Beach is located on a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) stretch between 21 and Seapoint streets. This is the only area where dogs are allowed on the beach in Huntington Beach. Dog Beach is free for public. Dog Beach is so popular that visitors should expect the beach and parking lot to be rather crowded during the summer and weekend.
The Orange County Register consistently mentions Huntington Dog Beach as the best dog park in Orange County. Some of the popular events taking place at Dog Beach are Surf City Surf Dog and So Cal Corgi Nation Beach Days.
The Huntington Dog Beach Preservation works to keep the beach clean and safe. This 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization was founded in 1997 and has five volunteers serving on the board. Mission Statement The Huntington Dog Beach Preservation Society, taken from their website, is as follows: "to protect and maintain access to the beach for dogs and their people, as well as to promote ownership of dogs responsible for making our dog friendly welcome members society. "
The public does not accept public financing and is entirely dependent on the personal donations of dog lovers who appreciate this public good. This nonprofit provides many valuable services that minimize the negative externality impact caused by dog ​​feces and inhuman dogs that must be handled to protect the environment and keep visitors safe. One of the main reasons dogs are usually not allowed on the beach is that the owners do not pick them up. Dog poo bags are provided free of charge (over 3,000 used per day during the summer) and dog owners are encouraged to immediately dispose of their dog feces in one of the many provided bins. In addition, the community organizes beach cleaning every Sunday where volunteers help clean up the trash. To keep visitors safe, aggressive dogs are not allowed and dogs must be kept under control at all times.
The public also creates positive externalities by providing public valuable information on their website. This information includes, but is not limited to, rules to keep dogs safe, tips for introducing dogs to the beach for the first time, warnings about the dangers of dogs drinking seawater, and information on nearby RV parking and dog-friendly hotels. Prospective visitors should be aware of the dog leash policy: "Under existing city regulations, dogs must remain chained, but for the past few years only release, potentially dangerous dogs have been quoted or deleted." One notable exception is that a dog necklace is always necessary when entering and exiting the park to ensure safety near the PCH.

In 1926, the Santa Ana River dam failed, and floods flooded across the delta. This southern delta ocean terminal is now a Huntington Beach residential area. Remote dams are still functioning, but silting, which is expected to reduce their storage volume, and therefore their effectiveness in flood prevention. Flooded areas and endangered dams are protected by embankments, but lenders need expensive flood insurance in the delta. There has been a serious discussion to eliminate the need for flood insurance and this requirement has been released in some areas and may one day be no longer considered a credible threat.
Since it's a beach town, Huntington Beach has had tsunami warnings, storm surges (docks have been built three times), spills of dirt, tornadoes and tornadoes. The cold offshore currents prevented hurricanes. The Pier that was rebuilt in the 1990s was engineered to withstand severe storms or earthquakes.
The large fraction of the settled delta lies in the soil liquefaction zone above the known known fault. Most of the local faults are named after the city streets.
Many residents (and even town hall) live in visible and active oil extraction voices and drilling operations. It occasionally spews oil, causing expensive cleaning. Most of the developed land has been contaminated by heavy metals from water separated from oil.
Local oil has extreme mercury contamination so that metal mercury is regularly dried from oil pipelines and equipment. Oil operations increase as oil prices rise.
