Huntington Beach Pier and Pier Plaza

In 1903, a wooden pier was built in Pacific City to attract people from the inland communities to this resort. Henry E. Huntington brought the Pacific Electric Railway to town in 1904, turning it into a recreational attraction for travelers on the line and the city was renamed Huntington Beach in his honor.
