Mesothelioma Doctors, Lawyers and Asbestos Exposure in El Segundo, California

Located on the Santa Monica Bay, El Segundo is one of the beach cities of Los Angeles County in California and part of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments. Incorporated in 1917, El Segundo spans over five square miles and is home to approximately 16,600 people. The city earned its name El Segundo (Spanish for "the second") because it was the site of the second Standard Oil refinery (renamed Chevron in 1984) on the West Coast. El Segundo has transitioned from being a predominantly blue-collar 'company town' to a 'corporate' town where the tax base relies on a non-resident working population. Pollution and toxic waste cleanup remain an issue as the city of El Segundo converts industrial sites to shopping malls and sports facilities.

El Segundo is also home to the Los Angeles Air Force Base, and the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), which is responsible for space-related acquisition for the military.
