[edit] Notable Residents
Whoever authored this article should edit the POV referencing that the land grants were not title to the land....and in 1784, this area was part of the original Rancho San Pedro that was parcelled off later...DonDeigo 16:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Does Shaq still live in Manhattan Beach? I'm pretty sure that he moved to Bel-Air a few years ago...
Also, I know that Tiger Woods used to live in MB, but I don't know about that anymore, especially since he just purchased a large home in Florida.
Any source on Spears? Cause I've never heard that....
Generally, I don't add people to the list unless I read them connected to MB in a newspaper. Let's try to keep this accurate.

What are the sources for this list of notable residents? I live in MB and have worked with several people on the list who absolutely do NOT live there.PatrickWB 02:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree that we should source the names...sources I've used are generally newspaper articles, LA Times Hot Property section, etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbmike (talk • contribs) 05:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early Development
In 1863 a Scottish immigrant, Sir Robert Burnett, purchased Rancho Sausal Redondo and Rancho Aguaje De Centinela from Avila's heirs for $33,000. Ten years later in 1873, Burnett decided to leave the California sunshine and head back for Scotland. He found Canadian Daniel Freeman to watch over the ranch and they agreed to a lease for the ranch. Freeman moved his wife and three children onto the ranch and started producing various crops. On May 4th, 1885 Freeman bought the ranch from Burnett for $140,000. TBC Evan

[edit] Original Spanish Land Grant, 1784
Ive edited this section accordingly, and the official ownership map of Rancho San Pedro, with links for citation is attached and referenced in the notes section..., and a portion of South Bay history reference; Maureen Megowan; has agreed to update her copyrighted version due to the proof from the Cal State Dominguez historical archives ( see links)....what you need to do is stop the POV in reference to not having title to the land....you should read some archive literature and see the struggles these folks had over these lands from day one....i.e., mission land politics vs ranchos, Californio / Mexican, Americans, etc.... DonDeigo 21:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
No copyright violation...these facts are stated in the State of California's museums sections under Spanish and Mexican land grants...the Dominguez rancho article has information, but not all the info...you attempt to trivalize the organizational structure of the Spaniards who in fact were granted the Rancho's, while the Missions still had the remainder of lands not identified through grants. The missions allowed the farming that you alude too.... and for your info, a grant was in fact "Title to the land"....DonDeigo 15:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Seal manhattan beach ca.png
Image:Seal manhattan beach ca.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
