I announced this on the disastrous online slideshow earlier this month, but I haven’t share the news widely. Barring unforeseen circumstances, This Date in Seal Beach History will return to daily posts on New Year’s Day, 2026.

It’s been great fun uncovering new information about Seal Beach’s history without rushing to write a daily post these past few years, and my research will continue throughout the next two years while I begin to write and stockpile brand new posts to run throughout 2025. It will be a blast to share some of the stuff I’ve found. The amazing but forgotten life of one of Seal Beach’s early city clerk. A tandem bicycle ride to Miami. Seal Beach’s own move studio. Photographs from the Los Angeles Motorcycle Club’s visit to early Seal Beach. And more.

I’ve been slacking off the past three years on acknowledging the generous donors that have helped fund some of my research during the hiatus. I apologize for my rude neglect to the following people:

As long as I’m expressing gratitude, I need to mention the people listed below for helping fund the research that went creating the posts currently available here on the blog.
