Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Island White is one of the four camouflaged oil islands that dot the water off Long Beach, an industrial facility rather than a residential neighborhood. The islands were built in 1965 to extract from the East Wilmington Oil Field and were dressed up with landscaped berms, decorative towers, and waterfalls so that, from shore, they resemble a small resort skyline. White honors Edward White, the first American to walk in space and one of the Apollo 1 crew lost in 1967. There is no public access and no housing on the island; it operates as an active oil-production and water-injection site under city and state management. For people along the Long Beach waterfront, its role is scenic and historical, a striking offshore landmark by day and a softly illuminated one at night, quietly tied to the petroleum history beneath the city.
