More about Hermosa Beach California

Hermosa Beach is home to an estimated 19,435 residents as of 2006 and is one of three beach cities in Los Angeles County. A path called The Strand, runs along the city's beach from Redondo in the south to Santa Monica in the north. The first pier was built in 1904 and was constructed entirely of wood, extending 500 feet out into the ocean. The pier was constructed by the Hermosa Beach Land and Water Company, but in 1913, the pier was partially washed away and then later completely demolished and replaced by a new pier. This new pier was built out of concrete, extended 1,000 feet and was paved with asphalt for its entire length. Eventually pavilions were built along the pier to offer shade for fishermen and picnic parties and a bait shop was built at the end of the pier. The city was officially incorporated on January 14, 1907 and was the nineteenth city to be incorporated into Los Angeles County. The city was given its name from the Spanish word Hermosa meaning beautiful, a very accurate description of this Los Angeles beach city. The city has been called the Beach Volleyball Capital of the World because of its flat, sandy beaches that provide magnificent venues for the sport. The city even maintains permanent poles and nets year-round due to the popularity of the sport. Another popular pass time in Hermosa Beach is surfing. Lying on the Pacific Ocean, the water provided waves for all types of surfers all year long. The city is represented by Democrat Jenny Oropeza of the 29th Senate District and federally is part of the California 36th congressional district.
