Wintersburg Buildings, Relics Recall Huntington Beach's Past
HUNTINGTON
BEACH — For two decades before railroad baron Henry Huntington's name
was tagged onto a beachside town, a small farming community called
Wintersburg operated 4 miles inland.
Wintersburg was founded in
the 1880s by farmer Henry Winters on the northern fringe of what today
is the Oak View area. Its residents included pioneers of the
region--with such names as Gothard, Nichols and Graham--and a sizable
Japanese community.
