What does “El Segundo” mean? The second? The second what?
What happened to El Primo?
It was the site of an oil company’s second oil refinery.
El Segundo does mean “the second” in Spanish.
Do you live there? Have you seen my wallet?
I have a friend who lives in El Segundo, which is hard to do since it isn’t a very big city in terms of population.
Nice place if you don’t mind large airplanes taking off near your house.

“In 1911, workers of the Standard Oil Company began to settle in the El Segundo area. “El Segundo”, which means “the second” in Spanish, is the second refinery of the Standard Oil Company of California. As the Company grew, the area around the refinery also prospered. The area, that was once sand dunes and water wells, was rapidly becoming a thriving Western Town.”
