A bit of history

Named in 1911 for Chevron's second refinery, El Segundo's real transformation began when LAX opened in 1930 and drew Douglas Aircraft, Hughes Aircraft, and North American Aviation to town. Douglas's local plant built the SBD Dauntless dive bombers that helped win the Battle of Midway. The Aerospace Corporation's founding in 1960 earned the city the nickname "Aerospace Capital of the World," and it still holds up: over half of the satellites and spacecraft built in the U.S. come out of El Segundo, including, fittingly, out of a former Mattel toy factory now run by Varda Space Industries.
