El Segundo, California

History

The Tongva (or Gabrieleños) Native American tribes inhabited the area of El Segundo and the Los Angeles coastal area when the Spanish arrived. The area was once a part of Rancho Sausal Redondo ("Round Willow Patch Ranch"). Rancho Sausal Redondo extended from Playa Del Rey in the north to Redondo Beach in the south. Originally a Mexican land grant owned by Antonio Ygnacio Avila, the rancho was later purchased by a Scottish baronet named Sir Robert Burnett in 1860. After his return to Scotland in 1873, the property was purchased by the then-manager of the rancho, Daniel Freeman. Freeman sold portions of the rancho to several persons. George H. Peck owned the 840 acre of land where the Chevron Refinery now sits. The city acquired its name ("the second" in Spanish) due to being the second Standard Oil refinery on the West Coast when Standard Oil of California purchased the 840 acres of land in 1911. Peck also developed land in neighboring El Porto, where a street still bears his name.

The city was incorporated in 1917. The Standard Oil Company was renamed Chevron in 1984. The El Segundo refinery entered its second century of operation in 2011.

The Douglas Aircraft Company plant in El Segundo was one of the major aircraft manufacturing facilities in California during World War II. It was one of the major producers of SBD Dauntless dive bombers, which achieved fame in the Battle of Midway. The facility, now operated by Northrop Grumman, is still an aircraft plant.

In 2009, a pair of local artists discovered the Smoky Hollow area, which mainly consisted of commercial properties. Other artists started to migrate as they had been priced out of Venice Beach and Culver City. Not long after, the tech industry also discovered Smoky Hollow.

On the evening of 2 October 2025 an explosion occurred and a fire erupted at the Chevron refinery, which produces 276,000 barrels of crude oil daily.

Geography

The northern and southern boundaries of the town are Los Angeles International Airport and Manhattan Beach, with the Pacific Ocean as the western boundary. Its eastern boundary is roughly marked by Aviation Blvd.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a land area of 5.5 sqmi.

The beachfront area neighboring the refinery was once dominated by industrial wharves servicing oil tanker ships, and heavily polluted by sewage and stormwater runoff. The major expansion of the Hyperion wastewater treatment plant in the 1980s was the impetus for rehabilitation of the beach. The old piers were demolished, an underwater oil terminal was constructed a few miles offshore, and an enormous amount of dredged sand was used to restore and dramatically enlarge the once narrow and polluted beach. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail runs along this new artificial beach, as the refinery wharves were one of the last remaining industrial facilities directly obstructing the shoreline of the Santa Monica Bay.

Economy

Oil

The name was adopted in 1911 when Chevron built its second refinery, El Segundo, which is Spanish for "the Second". This refinery has received crude oil from the Amazon region of South America – more than 5,000 barrels per day. El Segundo is located next to the Hyperion sewage treatment plant and the El Segundo power plant. The El Segundo power plant is operated by the American energy company NRG. NRG was to create a new combined cycle power island, providing power for 240,000 households. The power plant, which came online in 2013, uses two generators: a Siemens gas turbine and an additional steam turbine. Prior to its dissolution, Unocal was headquartered in El Segundo.

Aerospace

In 1928, William Mines, an immigrant from Canada, leased land for a flying field. In 1930, Los Angeles Municipal Airport, later Los Angeles International Airport, opened north of El Segundo; its presence led to the concentration of aerospace and aviation-related firms in the El Segundo area. Many large aerospace companies have facilities in El Segundo, including the four largest aerospace companies in the US: Boeing, RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman; many smaller aerospace companies such as Wyle Laboratories, the Aerospace Corporation, and Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings all have facilities in El Segundo as well, with Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings being headquartered there. It is also home to the Los Angeles Air Force Base and the Space and Missile Systems Center, which is responsible for space-related acquisition for the military.

The current Boeing factory, the Boeing Satellite Development Center, was originally built by Nash Motors in 1946 and opened in 1948. In 1955, Hughes Aircraft Company purchased the 500,000 ft2 building; it was converted to build missiles and also served as a test facility. At one time, MGM Grand Air had its headquarters in El Segundo.

"Gundo" and hard-tech resurgence

Aerospace manufacturing declined in the 1990s due to industry consolidation and offshoring. In the 21st century, the city has experienced a resurgence as a hub for hardware innovation and "hard-tech" startups, referred to as "Gundo" by locals and in the industry. The establishment of SpaceX in the city in 2002 helped trigger this revitalization. Former SpaceX employees have since founded numerous startups in the area, using the city's legacy of machine shops and industrial zoning.

The modern industrial ecosystem in El Segundo is characterized by a focus on "atoms" (hardware) rather than "bits" (software), and many of its startups aim to compete with Chinese manufacturing dominance in sectors such as defense, energy, and aerospace. Notable companies operating in the city's Smoky Hollow district include Varda Space Industries (space manufacturing), Neros (drone manufacturing), and General Matter (uranium enrichment). This concentration of defense-tech and high-precision manufacturing has attracted significant investment from venture capital firms, including Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund, establishing El Segundo as a hardware-focused counterpart to the software-centric culture of Silicon Valley.

Other industries

Toy manufacturer Mattel, AT&T Entertainment Hub (formerly DirecTV) direct technology marketing company PCM, Inc., and A-Mark Precious Metals are headquartered there, as well as sporting goods retailer Big 5 Sporting Goods and Stamps.com. Database company Teradata has a research and development facility in El Segundo, as well.

The headquarters of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League is also located in El Segundo. In 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers moved their headquarters to El Segundo from Costa Mesa. The Los Angeles Lakers office headquarters and practice facility, the UCLA Health Training Center are also located in El Segundo. Their NBA G-League affiliate the South Bay Lakers plays their games there. The Los Angeles Sparks are planning to build a new training facility in El Segundo.

Film production companies are located in El Segundo, including Rhythm and Hues Studios and Lightstorm Entertainment. Human resources software company Neogov was founded in El Segundo in 2012.
