Cal Heights: 100 Years of Architectural Charm and History

Among the 18 designated historic districts, California Heights Neighborhood is the largest historical district in Long Beach with the oldest home built in 1905. This year, California Heights Neighborhood celebrates 100 years of architectural charm and history. Listen as we talk with Manny Valenzuela of California Heights Neighborhood Association, a volunteer-led nonprofit organization working to promote public knowledge and preservation of historic and architectural resources. We acknowledge that California Heights resides on the traditional territory occupied by the Tongva people who were the area's original residents prior to the arrival of European colonizers.
