Huntington Beach, city, Orange County, southwestern California, on the Pacific Ocean, near
Los Angeles; settled 1834, incorporated 1909. Housing construction, retail trade, and the manufacture of refined petroleum and aerospace equipment are important to the economy. A junior college, a cultural center, and an arts center, as well as extensive ocean beaches, are here. The city was once one of the state's major petroleum-producing centers; oil was discovered here in 1920, offshore production began in 1930, and limited production continues today. The city, which grew rapidly after 1960, is named for the railroad magnate Henry E. Huntington.
