The City of Long Beach is updating its
Historic Context Statement
and preparing its first ever historic context statement focused on Race and Suburbanization.
These documents are important resources that will guide future planning and land use decisions and will allow those decisions to be rooted in a deeper understanding of the City’s history and evolution, including the communities of color that have helped shape it.
“History Matters LB” is the project and “Mark the Map” is the tool we’ve created for you to share your stories with us
. Through “Mark the Map,” you'll be able to contribute the stories about the places you care about that will inform this effort!
Your
story of the people and places of Long Beach is
the
story of Long Beach.
