Histori
Sunset Beach was founded in 1905 and developed as a result of oil discovery in 1920 at Huntington Beach Oil Field. On August 2, 2010, the Huntington Beach city council, with a 5-2 vote, voted to induct Sunset Beach to make the community part of a much larger Huntington Beach. The annexation officially began in January 2011 but a group of citizens filed a lawsuit on December 9, 2010 to stop annexation because of the new taxes that will be levied on them once they become part of Huntington Beach. A trial for an initial court order is scheduled on January 19, 2011 in Orange County High Court. Huntington Beach officially annexed Sunset Beach in August 2011.
