Did You Know… The first name of Long Beach was Willmore City? The City of Long Beach was incorporated (the first time) in 1888 and, after the turn of the century, Long Beach was one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Here, young people in front of the Pine Avenue Pier are dressed in the latest swimwear, circa 1890.

It’s fun to know a little history about our city and it’s amazing to see how much fashion has changed. Fashion recycles itself, but will this ever come back? Probably not anytime soon but only time will tell.
