Long Beach grew as a seaside resort town in the early 20th century, with the ferris wheels and roller coasters of beachside amusement parks as its main attractions. In 1921 oil was discovered on Signal Hill – now a separate city – and in Long Beach. In the 1920s and 1930s the city's Long Beach and Wilmington oil fields were two of the world's most productive.
