Oil In Signal Hill. The 1921 Discover of Oil on Signal Hill and its Impact in Long Beach

[@princepa123]

My father still receives oil royalties to this day from Signal Hill leases. He has since he inherited them from his mother in the 60’s. His grandmother’s uncle was the president of Dabney Oil. Still going for 100 years.

Our Grandfather who I am named after Mapped the West Coast & Asia aboard the Coastal Geodetic Survey Ship Batch in the 1890's a 2 masted Schooner & he put on his charts possible oil deposits. He passed away in 1920 age 51. one of our Uncles had become friends with a Englishman who owned Avocado Grove on Signal Hill. He took our Grandfathers charts to him & told him to wait until =chevron Shell etc.. came to him. Explaining that they were drilling on the wrong side of the hill. Plus there were scammers trying to buy your Mineral Rights. So He waited & became a Multi Millionaire. He offered our Uncle a College education or a trip around the world. Our Uncle chose the around the world. He & the Englishman traveled all over the world.

After going to the beach in the 50's, when we got home Dad would clean the tar and oil off our feet with gasoline.

There was a well known local TV reporter named Ruth Ashton Taylor who grew up in Signal Hill during it's heyday. He mom owned a diner that all the oil executives used to lunch at.

Is there anyway we can get in contact with you to talk about the history of signal Hill in this video that you made that is so wonderful

[@Bbmangood]

You’re really wonder if possibly taking out all of the oil in signal Hill, all of that cushion against all those different fishers in the Earth if maybe that caused the earthquake

I grew up not too far from this area and I always asked why there wasn't multiple rail lines that ran through the base of Signal Hill insofar as relative to Oil Tanker rail car operations???

[@tdkeyes1]

Pipelines were cheaper and more effecient. There were numerous refineries within a short distance.

Hi missus drake my typing teacher

[@gilzor9376]

I don't understand how, so many uploaders of videos, having what must be adequate time to really think about and and type out the title of the piece . . . . . but still fail to use proper English as the FIRST thing the viewer is faced with when deciding to watch or don't watch. Though my first inclination is to say, "if the person didn't give the attention to detail to the title . . . . how could it be a good video?" . . . . . I still have been watching them to see if my inclination is accurate . . . . . it mostly is.
