Welcome to El Segundo!
The affable community of El Segundo, on the southern coastline of California, has good reason to be called one of the most friendly cities in Los Angeles County. The town was founded as an oil refinery back in 1911 and its prosperity has come naturally ever since. Nowadays, business is thriving in El Segundo, which is home to California's second highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies. Contracts from the Los Angeles Air Force Base stationed in El Segundo provide abundant opportunities in aeronautics, information technology and health care, while the Chevron oil refinery maintains the city's strong economy. However, its not only business friendly, but people friendly too. The region's temperate climate, beautiful coastline and clean, wholesome downtown provide a great environment for the folks of this small town to get to know one another. Its close proximity to the Los Angeles International Airport makes El Segundo easily accessible from anywhere in the world; and with Los Angeles City only 30 minutes away, all of the modern attractions found there are within easy reach.
