The population of Redondo Beach is presently just over 63,200. Redondo Beach began as an trade center for oil and lumber, but by the late 1890s, it had become a mecca for tourists. The Hotel Redondo opened that year as "the place" for tourists. The town of Redondo Beach was incorporated just two years later. For more than a century, Redondo Beach held an appeal to vacationers as a preferred resort destination as well as being a highly desirable area to live. Early in its history the Hotel Redondo offered lush landscaping around its 18-hole golf course and tennis courts and had 225 luxurious rooms to offer guests. These rooms were expensive, so if the visitors preferred they could rent a tent at the nearby Tent City for $10 per month. That was a bargain since this price included wooden floors and electric lights! Redondo, CA is renown for its amenities such as police, fire, and public works departments.
