Signal Hill, Charter city in Los Angeles County, California.
Signal Hill rises 45 meters above sea level and contains residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and municipal facilities across 2.19 square miles.
The discovery of oil in 1921 led to the construction of over 100 derricks, establishing Signal Hill as a major petroleum production center.
The city holds regular community gatherings at Signal Hill Park's amphitheater, where residents participate in educational programs and seasonal celebrations.
Signal Hill provides municipal services through its City Hall at 2175 Cherry Avenue, offering permits, licenses, and community resources to 11,848 residents.
The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey designated this elevation point in 1889, where John Rockwell installed a signal for maritime navigation.
