Rising from a tidal mudflat at the mouth of the Los Angeles River,
the Port of Long Beach has grown through the 20th century into the
one of the busiest deepwater ports. The ultramodern Port of Long
Beach, the second-largest active harbor in the United States in the
first decade of the 21st century, progressed steadily through a
difficult adolescence fueled by the ambitions of a visionary few
local community leaders who overcame political opposition to create
a port separate and distinct from its neighboring Port of Los
Angeles. Fueled by oil, Southern Californiaas unprecedented
postaWorld War II growth, and the container revolution, the Port of
Long Beach surmounted numerous natural and man-made hurdles to
position itself, in its own right, as a critical link in the
nationas global supply chain.
