Fun Facts

Signal Hill was known as 'Porcupine Hill' in the 1920s due to the dense forest of oil derricks that covered it.

The hill got its name because it was used by Native Americans to send smoke signals across the region.

The Hilltop Park at Signal Hill provides panoramic views of the Los Angeles Basin, the Pacific Ocean, and even the distant mountains.

Signal Hill is home to a variety of wildlife, including hawks, rabbits, and even the occasional coyote.

In the early 20th century, Signal Hill was a popular spot for aviation enthusiasts and even hosted air shows.
