Více o knize
The history of Signal Hill is marked by its transformation from a viewpoint for Spanish settlers to a thriving community known for its oil production. Initially called Loma Sental, the area attracted estate homes in the early 1900s, capitalizing on stunning views and breezes. The discovery of oil in 1921 by Royal Dutch Shell led to a boom, earning it the nickname "Porcupine Hill" due to the numerous derricks. Today, while oil extraction continues, Signal Hill also features impressive hillside residences overlooking Long Beach and Catalina Island.
