Signal Hill, California

Alamitos No. 1 came in at 590 barrels a day and the hill became one of the most productive oil fields per acre in the world. Derricks stood so close together the place was called Porcupine Hill. Signal Hill incorporated separately in 1924 to keep the tax revenue.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
