Renamed to honor the Tongva people
Formerly the Grant neighborhood of Long Beach, named after Civil War general and President Ulysses S. Grant, Nehyam was renamed with the Tongva word meaning “my friend” in 2021. The neighborhood association worked with the city to codify the name change to honor the tribe that dominated the land almost 10,000 years ago. Home to one of the city’s 18 historic districts and the first in North Long Beach, Nehyam boasts Spanish Colonial Revival homes constructed in the late 1920s and early 1930s. “This is one of the most affordable areas in the city, and it’s also central to a number of freeways,” says Keller Williams Realtor Shannon Jones, who has been serving the area since 1998.
