State CALIFORNIA EL SEGUNDO (regional info) Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles LAX El Segundo Doubletree Hotel Los Angeles International Airport Embassy Suites LAX International Airport South Hacienda Hotel Hilton Garden Inn LAX El Segundo HOMESTEAD LAX-AIRPORT Residence Inn By Marriott El Segundo Travelodge Los Angeles Airport South El Segundo is a city in Los Angeles County, California on the Santa Monica Bay, incorporated on January 18, 1917. The population was 16,033 at the 2000 census. The area was once a part of Rancho San Pedro and later became El Rancho Sausal Redondo ("The Clump of the Willows"). The most common story of how the city received its current name is that it became the site of the second ("el segundo" in Spanish) Standard Oil refinery on the West Coast in 1911. In 2006, El Segundo won an Eddy award for being the most business friendly city in Los Angeles county. El Segundo is in transition from being a Caucasian, blue-collar 'company town' to being a 'corporate' town where the tax base relies on a non-resident working population. Pollution and toxic waste cleanup remain issues as El Segundo restores industrial sites to shopping malls and sports facilities. To date the social problems in areas east of El Segundo have not spread west of the Burlington-Northern/Santa Fe railway. Many east-west avenues in El Segundo do not penetrate the neighborhoods lying east; the elevated commuter rail also runs north-south on the east edge of the town. The north and south boundaries of the town are the LAX airport and prosperous Manhattan Beach with the Pacific as the western boundary. The most prominent feature of the town is the massive oil refinery which borders the town center and the massive sewage treatment facility on the west side of the town. Office towers are not a prominent feature of this town from any but a very select vantage point (the towers are no longer occupied by Hughes although the helipad #1 remains in place.) Aircraft noise from LAX is a major issue for residents on the north side of El Segundo. read full wikipedia reference about El Segundo, California OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN CALIFORNIA Alameda Anaheim Anaheim Hills Arcadia Arcata Auburn Bakersfield Barstow Berkeley Beverly Hills Big Bear Bishop Blythe Buena Park Burbank Burlingame Camarillo Cambria Campbell Carlsbad Carmel Cathedral City Chico Chula Vista Commerce Concord Corona Coronado Costa Mesa Crescent City Culver City Dana Point Davis Del Mar El Cajon El Segundo Emeryville Escondido Eureka Fairfield Folsom Fremont Fresno Fullerton Garden Grove Glendale Half Moon Bay Hayward Hollywood Huntington Beach Indio Inglewood Irvine La Jolla La Mesa La Mirada Laguna Beach Lake Forest Lake Tahoe Lancaster Livermore Lodi Lompoc Long Beach Los Angeles Madera Mammoth Lakes Manhattan Beach Marina Marina del Rey Merced Milipitas Mill Valley Millbrae Modesto Monrovia Monterey Morgan Hill Morro Bay Mountain View Napa National City Newark Newport Beach Novato Oakland Oceanside Ontario Orange Oxnard Pacific Grove Palm Desert Palm Springs Palmdale Palo Alto Pasadena Pismo Beach Pleasanton Rancho Cordova Rancho Mirage Red Bluff Redding Redondo Beach Redwood Ridgecrest Riverside Roseville Sacramento Salinas San Bernadino San Bruno San Clemente San Diego San Francisco San Jose San Luis Obispo San Mateo San Pedro San Ramon Santa Ana Santa Barbara Santa Clara Santa Cruz Santa Maria Santa Monica Santa Rosa Seaside Solvang South Lake Tahoe Stockton Sunnyvale Temecula Thousand Oaks Torrance Tracy Tulare Ukiah Vacaville Vallejo Ventura Victorville Visalia Walnut Creek Watsonville Westminster Whittier West Hollywood Yreka Yuba
