Manhattan Beach, California. In its earliest days, Manhattan Beach was part of the ten-mile ocean front area with a name that meant "Round Clump of Willows." In 1901, Stewart Merrill bought the south portion and called his section Manhattan Beach after his old home, New York City. Peck, the northern portion of the town's land owner, and Merrill, unable to agree on a city name, flipped a coin and Manhattan Beach won.
The first downtown building was built by Merrill around 1901, a small frame building later used for city offices. The official date of incorporation was December 7, 1912. As time went on a large influx of people came into the Manhattan Beach area, as a result of the desirability of the area for year-round living. The development of the defense industry brought many people to the South Bay to reside and work. Much of the land east of Sepulveda was developed to house the new area residents.
