Huntington Beach is a seaside city in Orange County in southern
California. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 189,594. It is
bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west, by Seal Beach on the north, by
Costa Mesa on the south, by Westminster on the northeast, and by Fountain
Valley on the east.
It is known for its long 14 km (8.5 miles) beach, mild climate, and
excellent surfing. The waves are a unique natural effect caused by
edge-diffraction of ocean swells by the island of Catalina, and waves from
distant hurricanes. Because of the curve of the coastline at Huntington
Beach, the local beach actually faces southwest. In summer, the
southwest-facing beach often has very strong surf from hurricanes off the
Mexican coast.
History
Huntington Beach, pre-incorporation, 1904.The area was originally occupied
by the Tongva people. European settlement can be traced to a Spanish
soldier, Manuel Nieto, who in 1784 received a Spanish land grant of 300,000
acres (1,200 km²), Rancho Los Nietos, as a reward for his military service
and to encourage settlement in Alta California. Nieto's western area was
reduced in 1790 because of a dispute with the Mission San Gabriel, but he
retained thousands of acres stretching from the hills north of Whittier,
Fullerton and Brea, south to the Pacific Ocean, and from today's Los Angeles
River on the west, to the Santa Ana River on the east.
Huntington Beach incorporated in 1909 under its first mayor, Ed Manning. Its
original developer was the Huntington Beach Company, a real-estate
development firm owned by Henry Huntington, a railroad magnate after whom
the city is named. The Huntington Company is still a major land-owner in the
city, and still owns most of the local mineral rights.
The city's first high school, Huntington Beach High School was built in
1906. The school's team, the Oilers, are named after the city's original
natural resource.

[edit] Sister Cities
Huntington Beach has the following sister city relationships, according to
The Huntington Beach Sister City Association:
Anjo, Aichi, Japan
Waitakere, New Zealand
[edit] Sports
Surfers abound near Huntington City Pier

Huntington Beach during the day.
Bolsa Chica Surf
Huntington Beach is the site of the world surfing championships, held in the
summer every year. The city is often referred to as "Surf City" because of
this high profile event, its history, and culture of surfing. In 1989, the
event erupted into a riot with police vehicles being overturned and
burnt.[citation needed]
Surf & Beaches
Apart from sponsored surf events, Huntington Beach has some of the best surf
breaks in the State of California and that of the United States. Huntington
Beach has four different facing beaches: NW, W, SW, S. North West consist of
Bolsa Chica State Beach (3.3 Miles), the West consist of "The Cliffs" or
"Dog's Beach", South West is considered everything north of the Pier which
is operated by the City of Huntington Beach. South consist in everything
south of the pier which primarily focuses on Huntington State Beach (2.2
Miles), which almost faces true South.
Bolsa Chica State Beach is operated by the State of California, Dept. Parks
& Recreation, Bolsa Chica State Beach Lifeguards. The beach is very narrow
and the sand is very course. Bolsa Chica tends to have better surf with NW/W
swells during the winter season. During the summer months the beach picks up
S/SW swells at a very steep angle. Due to the bottom of the beach, surf at
Bolsa Chica tends to be slowed down and refined to soft shoulders.
Longboards are the best option for surfing.
"The Cliff's" or "Dog's Beach" is also another popular surf spot. This
segment of Huntington Beach obtains these names because dogs are allowed
around the cliff area. Beach is very restricted and often is submerged with
high tides. Surf at this location tends to be even bigger than Bolsa Chica
during the winter and often better. During the summer most of the S/SW
swells slide right by and often break poorly. Best option is to take out a
longboard, but shortboards will do at times.
Just north and south of the Huntington Beach Pier are some well defined
sandbars that shift throughout the year with the different swells. Southside
of the Pier is often a popular destination during the summer for good surf,
but the Northside can be just as well during the winter. Around the Pier it
all depends on the swell and the sandbars. Shortboard is your best option
for surfing around the Pier.
South Huntington Beach or also known as Huntington State Beach, is where all
the south swells impact the coastline. Huntington State Beach is operated by
the State of California, Dept. Parks & Recreation, Huntington State Beach
Lifeguards. This beach is very wide with plenty of sand. Sandbars
dramatically shift during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Thus creating
excellent surf conditions with a combo S/W/NW swell. Due to the Santa Ana
River Jetties located at the southern most end of the beach, large sandbars
extend across and upcoast, forcing swells to break extremely fast and
hollow. Best seasons for surfing at this beach is the summer and fall. Best
option for surfing is a shortboard.
Huntington Harbor Computer Networking
Huntington Beach is also a popular destination for kite surfing, and this
sport can be viewed on the beach north-west of the pier.
Huntington Beach is the host city of the National Professional Paintball
League Super 7 Paintball Championships. The NPPL holds its first event of
the year traditionally between the dates of March 23rd through March 26th.
[edit] Tourism
The city has the largest public pier on the west coast.
The city also has the oldest Independence Day parade in the Western United
States. This is televised locally on the public access cable channel.
The downtown district includes an active art center, a colorful shopping
district, youth hostel, and the International Surfing Museum. This district
was also once the home of the famous restaurant and music club "The Golden
Bear." In the late '60s and '70s it hosted many famous bands and acts.
The beaches and surfing. Major surf competitions are held here each year.
The pier that goes from Main Street into the Pacific Ocean. At the end of
the pier is a restaurant called Ruby's.

[edit] Special events
Annual Cruise of Lights Boat Tour: This is a 'parade' of colorful lighted
boats through the Huntington Harbour bayside neighborhood for two weekends
in mid-December. Each year most boats have a different theme; the other
boats would have a certain theme reoccurring annually. [1]
Annual Kite Festival: Where kite fliers come and show off their varied and
amazing kites. Pro kite fliers do demonstrations to music. Held just north
of the pier in late February.
US Open of Surfing: Held during the summer months, the Beach Games are
featured on the south side of the pier.
MEGA: A biathlon (Swim/Run) hosted by Bolsa Chica & Huntington State Beach
Lifeguards. The event takes place every summer in the month of July, early
at dawn. The race begins at the Santa Ana River Jetties and ends at Warner
Avenue, Bolsa Chica State Beach. The course consist of 4 swims, adding up to
4,000 yards, and 5 runs, at a distance of 8.5 miles. There are no prizes or
awards for the winner, just a true lifeguard event.
USLA Lifeguard Nationals: Lifeguard competition in various events. Held
annually at different locations across the country. Summer 2006, Huntington
State Beach Lifeguards hosted the event.
Junior Guards: Every summer, two separate Huntington Beach Junior Lifeguard
daycamps are held which teaches preadolescents and adolescents ocean
swimming, running, and first-aid medical knowledge. Children 10-12 are
called C's and have yellow beanies, 13-14 are called B's and wear red
beanies, and at age 15, they are either an A, and wear green beanies, or a
Safety Aide that helps B's and C's and wear pink beanies. Sometimes, after
passing a rigorous physical test, 18-year olds can become Captains, who wear
white beanies.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
[edit] City parks and amenities
Huntington Beach has a very large Central Park, located between Gothard and
Edwards Streets to the east and west, and Slater and Ellis Avenues to the
north and south. The park is vegetated with xeric (low water use) plants,
and inhabited by native wildlife. Thick forests encircling the park are
supplemented with Australian trees, particularly eucalyptus, a high water
use plant.
Huntington Harbor Data Recovery
Huntington Central ParkThe Huntington Beach Public Library is located in
Central Park in a notable building designed by Richard Neutra, Dion Neutra
and Mario Pei. It houses almost a half-million volumes, as well as a
theater, gift shop and fountains. The library was founded as a Carnegie
library in 1914, and has been continuously supported by the city and local
activists, with new buildings and active branches at Banning, Oak View, Main
Street, and Graham. The library has significant local historical materials
and has a special genealogical reference collection. It is independent of
the state and county library systems.
The park is also home of Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, a top
class boarding facility that also offers horse rentals to the public, with
guided trail rides through the park. The world's second oldest disc golf
course is available in the park, as are two small dining areas, a Sports
Complex for adult use, the Shipley Nature Center.
The Bolsa Chica Wetlands, which are diminishing rapidly due to development,
contains numerous trails and scenic routes. The wetlands themselves have
recently been connected with the ocean again, in effort to maintain its
previous, unaltered conditions.
[edit] Natural resources
Bolsa Chica Wildlife RefugeConstruction of any kind on the beach is
prohibited without a vote of the people, allowing Huntington Beach to retain
its natural tie to the ocean rather than having the view obscured by
residential and commercial improvements.
Between Downtown Huntington Beach and Huntington Harbour lies a large marshy
wetland, much of which is protected within the Bolsa Chica State Ecological
Reserve. A $110 million restoration of the wetlands was completed in 2006.
[2] The Reserve is popular with bird watchers and photographers.
South of Downtown, the Talbert and Magnolia Marshes lie on a strip of
undeveloped land parallel to Huntington State Beach and are in the process
of restoration, as well.
The northern and southern beaches (Bolsa Chica State Beach and Huntington
State Beach, respectively) are state parks. Only the central beach
(Huntington City Beach) is maintained by the city. Camping and RVs are
permitted here, and popular; campsites for the 4th of July and the Surfing
Championships must be reserved many months in advance. Bolsa Chica State
Beach is actually a sand bar fronting the Bolsa Bay and Bolsa Chica State
Ecological Reserve.

Huntington Harbour from the airThe Orange County run Sunset Marina Park [3]
next to Huntington Harbour is part of Anaheim Bay. It is suitable for light
craft, and includes a marina, launching ramp, basic services, a picnic area
and a few restaurants. The park is in Seal Beach, but is only reachable from
Huntington Harbour. The Sunset/Huntington Harbour area is patrolled by the
Orange County Sheriff's Harbor Patrol [4].
The harbor entrance for Anaheim Bay is sometimes restricted by the US Navy,
which loads ships with munitions at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station to
the north of the main channel.
[edit] Education
Huntington Beach is also the home of Golden West College, which offers
two-year associates of arts degrees, and transfer programs to state
universities.
The public television station KOCE-TV operates from the Golden West College
campus, in conjunction with the Golden West College Media Arts program.
Huntington Beach is in the Huntington Beach Union High School District.
Which includes Edison High School, Huntington Beach High School, Marina High
School, and Ocean View High School in the city of Huntington Beach, Fountain
Valley High School in the city of Fountain Valley, and Westminster High
School in the city of Westminster. The district also has an alternative
school, Valley Vista High School, and an independent study school, Coast
High School.
Huntington Beach High School, which is the district's flagship school,
celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2006.
The city has two elementary school districts: Huntington Beach City with 9
schools and Ocean View with 15.
[edit] Climate
The climate is generally sunny, dry and cool, although evenings can be
excessively damp. In the morning and evening, there are often strong
breezes, 15 mph (25 km/h). Ocean water temperatures average 55 to 65 °F (10
to 15 °C). In the summer, temperatures rarely exceed 85 °F (25 °C). In the
winter, temperatures rarely fall below 40 °F (4 °C), even on clear
nights.[5] There are about 10 inches (250 mm) of rain, almost all in
mid-winter. Frost occurs only rarely on the coldest winter nights.
The area is annually affected by "June Gloom", caused by the cool air of the
pacific meeting the warm air over the land. This results in overcast and
foggy conditions in May and June.
[edit] Economy
Huntington Beach also sits above a large natural salt dome containing oil.
Although the oil is mostly depleted, extraction continues at a slow rate,
and still provides significant local income. There are only two off-shore
extraction facilities left, however, and the day is not far off when oil
production in the city will cease and tourism will replace it as the primary
revenue source for resident industry.
Huntington Harbor Laptop Repair
New outdoor shopping malls are being built on either side of Main Street on
PCH. These contructions will interfere with the views of some downtown
residential homes and restaurants. The city is also discussing closing off
Main Street to cars from PCH (Highway 1) through the retail shopping and
restaurant areas, making it a pedestrian zone only.
Huntington Beach has an off-shore oil terminus for the tankers that support
the Alaska Pipeline. The terminus pipes run inland to a refinery in Santa Fe
Springs. Huntington Beach also has the Gothard-Talbert terminus for the
Orange County portion of the pipeline running from the Chevron El Segundo
refinery.
Several hotels have been constructed on the inland side of Pacific Coast
Highway (California Highway 1) within view of the beach, just southeast of
the pier.
Huntington Beach contains a major installation of Boeing, formerly
McDonnell-Douglas. A number of installations on the Boeing campus were
originally constructed to service the Apollo Program, most notably the
production of the S-IVB upper stage for the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets,
and some nearby telephone poles are still marked "Apollo Dedicated Mission
Control Line."
Huntington Beach contains the administrative headquarters of Sea Launch, a
commercial space vehicle launch enterprise whose largest stockholder is
Boeing.
Huntington Beach contains a small industrial district in its northwest
corner, near the borders with Westminster and Seal Beach.
[edit] Safety
The fourth incarnation of the Huntington Beach Pier
Fire protection in Huntington Beach is provided by the Huntington Beach Fire
Department. Law enforcement is provided by the Huntington Beach Police
Department. Its life guards are recognized as some of the best in the world
with a top notch safety record. It has an active Community Emergency
Response Team training program, that trains citizens as FEMA-Certified
Disaster Service Workers as a part of a free program run by the fire
department's Office of Emergency Services.
Emergency services are also provided at State Beach locations. Peace
Officers and Lifeguards can be found at Bolsa Chica & Huntington State
Beach. Such services consist of: aquatic rescues, boat rescues, first aid
and law enforcement. All services are provided by the State of California,
Dept. Parks & Recreation.
Huntington Beach is also one of the most emergency-prone settled areas on
the West Coast of the United States.[citation needed] This is a direct
result of its attractive geographic features. The beach was naturally
constructed by the Santa Ana River's delta. Some settled areas of Huntington
Beach lie within the 100-year and 50-year flood zone. Some parts of the
delta require powered pumping to remove water during heavy rains. Some parts
do not drain effectively at all, and in these areas, local flooding is
common during heavy rain (although this threat is remote and poses no danger
to human life).
In 1926, the Santa Ana River dam failed, and flash-flooded its entire delta.
The southern oceanic terminus of this delta is now a settled area of
Huntington Beach. The distant dam is still functional, but silting up, which
is expected to reduce its storage volume, and therefore its effectiveness at
flood-prevention. The flood and dam-endangered areas are protected by a
levee, but lenders require expensive flood insurance in the delta. There
have been serious discussions to eliminate the need for flood insurance and
this requirement has already been waived in some areas and may one day no
longer be considered a credible threat.
Since it is a seaside city, Huntington Beach has had tsunami warnings, storm
surge (its pier has been rebuilt three times), sewage spills, tornadoes and
waterspouts. The cold offshore current prevents hurricanes. The Pier that
was rebuilt in the 90s was engineered to withstand severe storms or
earthquakes.
Large fractions of the settled delta are in earthquake liquefaction zones
above known active faults. Most of the local faults are named after city
streets.
Many residents (and even city hall) live within sight and sound of active
oil extraction and drilling operations. These occasionally spew oil, causing
expensive clean-ups. Large parts of the developed land have been
contaminated by heavy metals from the water separated from oil.
The local oil has such extreme mercury contamination that metallic mercury
is regularly drained from oil pipelines and equipment. Oil operations
increase when the price of oil rises. Some oil fields have been approved for
development. The worst-polluted areas have been reclaimed as parks. At least
one Superfund site, too contaminated to be a park, is at the junction of
Magnolia and Hamilton streets, near Edison High School.
The city's Emergency Operations Coordinator has said that, in a nuclear war,
the city would probably be severely damaged in a first-strike against
military targets.[citation needed] Because Huntington Beach adjoins Naval
Weapons Station Seal Beach, and the center stores munitions (widely believed
to include nuclear weapons), the Center is likely to be first-strike target
for ground-burst thermonuclear weapons. Huntington Beach also includes a
very large Boeing installation, which is an attractive strategic target.
[edit] "Surf City USA" Trademarks
Huntington Beach filed four applications to register the Surf City USA
trademark in November of 2004. A ruling by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office released on May 12, 2006, awarded three trademark registrations to
Huntington Beach; four additional trademark registrations have been granted
since this time and three other Surf City USA trademarks are under
consideration.[6] Huntington Beach has already introduced the Surf City USA®
Beach Cruiser by Felt Bicycles[7] and other licensed products.[8] On October
12, 2006, Flotsam of California, a T-shirt vendor in Santa Cruz, CA, after
receiving a cease and desist letter to stop selling t-shirts reading "Surf
City USA", filed a countersuit[9] against the nonprofit Huntington Beach
Convention and Visitors Bureau [10][11][12] .

[edit] City police and government controversies
Former pro-development mayor, Pam Julien Houchen, was sentenced in September
2006 to a 37-month sentence and ordered to pay $140,000 in restitution for a
scheme that illegally converted Huntington Beach apartments into
condominiums. [13]
Former mayor Dave Garofalo pleaded guilty to a felony and 15 misdemeanors
and was sentenced to community service and probation for violating
conflict-of-interest laws in January 2002. [14] [15]
Former mayor Jack Kelly was fined $4,000 by the Fair Political Practices
Commission on two counts of improper financial disclosure in 1988 [16].
18 year old Ashley MacDonald was shot and killed by police on the early
morning of August 25, 2006 in an empty park. MacDonald had an argument with
her mother, grabbed a knife and slashed her mother. She then ran out of the
house and went to a city park down the street. Officers found MacDonald in
the park with the knife in her hand and with bloody clothes. Officers
repeatedly order MacDonald to drop the knife, but instead she started
walking towards the officers. At which time the two police officers shot
her. The events surrounding the shooting are in dispute between the police
department, witnesses and MacDonald's family. The family has since filed a
$20 million lawsuit against the police department. [17]
