The Harbor Area Podcast
It's all about coastal living in here, folks. There is so much history and happenings all around us and we should talk about it. The Harbor Area Podcast is born out of a true fascination with the area (San Pedro, Long Beach, and Wilmington, California). Join me for a dose of research, with a dallop of fun. A new episode will publish every two weeks.

Episode 4. The Gold Rush
•
Joel Torrez
I this episode I will talk about California in the late 1840s and 1850s - also known as the time of the gold rush. You could consider this episode more of a tickler for episode five, where I will dive into the life of Phineas Banning the founder of Wilmington, California, his contributions to Wilmington and San Pedro, including the economy of goods movement.
