History

Before growing into a thriving city of 17,000, El Segundo was once uninhabited land used primarily for dryland farming (the cultivation of drought-resistant and moisture conserving crops). The area was part of the Rancho Sausal Redondo, the expansive land area from which neighboring territories like Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Hermosa Beach also originated. The city was incorporated in 1917.

The petroleum and aviation industries encouraged the growth of El Segundo throughout the 20th century. LAX first opened as the Los Angeles Municipal Airport in 1930, a development that would usher in the arrival of several aviation and aerospace companies, many of which operate to this day.
