100 years ago,
our first delivery was lumber.
With it came the foundation for a thriving industry.
That redwood shipment on June 24, 1911—and many more that followed—would be used
to build much of Southern California. But developing this waterfront economic hub
took more than just raw materials. With the Port’s Centennial Celebration, we honor
the business partnerships that have always been so critical to progress and success.
Looking ahead, we’re investing billions in capital improvements over the next five
years. So we’ll all continue to innovate and prosper, together.
