Los Angeles County, City of Signal Hill
| Signal Hill is a small
city that is completely surrounded by the city of Long Beach. The city was
incorporated on April 22, 1924, roughly three years after oil was discovered on
Signal Hill. It is in the 4th Supervisory District of Los Angeles County, with
Don Knabe the current Supervisor. Signal Hill is in the 37th Congressional
District of the U.S. Congress, represented by Congresswoman Juanita
Millender-McDonald. It is in the 27th California State Senate District,
represented by Alan Lowenthal, and the 55th California Assembly District,
represented by Betty Karnette. The hill that the city is named after is 365
feet above the surrounding community of Long Beach. Because of this height, the
local Tongva Indians for signal fires that could be seen throughout the
surrounding area and even out to Catalina Island, 26 miles away, used it. For
sixteen years, Signal Hill contracted for their fire protection services from
the City of Long Beach. Because of the close proximity to the Long Beach
Municipal Airport, Signal Hill has a number of business that are associated
with the airport, including DHL. Since there are still working oil wells in
Long Beach and Signal Hill, the city still has several oil industry-related
companies, such as Signal Hill Petroleum and Schlumberger. |
