Notes
  • Significance: As the Douglas Aircraft Company Long Beach plant, the facility made a significant contribution to the development of the aviation industry in southern California. It was constructed as a critical early step in creating the "Arsenal of Democracy" during World War II, and the facility contributed substantially to the war effort and figured prominently in the movement to use women workers ("Rosie the Riveters") on the Home Front. Finally, the building and operating of the Douglas Long Beach plant was highly influential for the growth and prosperity of the region, especially the cities of Long Beach and Lakewood.
