History
The City of Huntington Beach was incorporated in 1909. The Newland House Museum is the oldest residence built in the city of Huntington Beach and is maintained by the Huntington Beach Historical Society. This house was built in 1898 for Huntington Beach pioneers William and Mary Newland and their ten children. The original Newland ranch extended from Beach Blvd. to Magnolia and from Yorktown south to Atlanta for a total of 500+ acres in which they planted lima beans, sugar beets, celery and later chili peppers. The house (museum) is open for tours to the public through the Historical Society but is not rentable. The Newland Barn, which sits on the property is operated by the City of Huntington Beach's Community Services Dept. and is used as a multi-use facility. To book this facility, contact the Community & Library Services Dept. at (714) 960-8839 or see the website for more details on renting the Newland Barn.
