It was an impressive list, but surely incomplete. The end result: in our first effort two years ago, we identified more than 220 businesses and 45 nonprofit organizations and institutions. We e-blasted, posted on Facebook and even tweeted. We reached out to the city business license department, the public library system, the Long Beach Historical Society, Long Beach Heritage, city councilmembers and others to develop as complete a list as possible. We later added nonprofit organizations and other non-public sector institutions. We decided to limit our search to companies that opened prior to 1970 and are still operating in the city today. As we brainstormed in an editorial meeting in 2016, we asked ourselves: How many businesses in Long Beach have operated for decades and decades? What are their stories?įirst, we needed to establish criteria for what could be considered a historic company. This list was compiled initially out of curiosity. Each year, as some businesses close their doors and we learn about others missed in our research, we run an updated timeline chronicling those historic institutions that opened prior to 1970 and continue to operate today. For the past two years, the Business Journal has run a list of historic companies and nonprofits that continue to operate in Long Beach.
