Today’s Huntington Beach city limits include areas...
Today’s Huntington Beach city limits include areas that were once other towns and communities dating to the late 1800s.
One of them was Wintersburg, which was founded in 1897. Primarily a farm settlement and railroad siding, Wintersburg was near the present-day intersection of Warner Avenue and Golden West Street.
Another former community was Smeltzer, founded in 1894. When Smeltzer was launched, it was a rail siding in peat lands.
