Long Beach offers a unique blend of urban sophistication and beach city charm. It is the 36th largest city in the United States and seventh-largest in California. Laid out in 1880 by W.E. Willmore as Willmore City, the town was first settled in 1882. It was soon promoted as a seaside resort and was renamed (1888) for its 8.5-mile (13.5-km) beach.
