Newport Beach Background Newport Beach — home to TV's "The O.C." — boasts some of the most expensive real estate in Southern California. West Newport, East Newport, Bay Island and Balboa Island became popular vacation communities in the early 20th century. In 1906, the villages were incorporated as the city of Newport Beach. In 1924, the city also annexed the village of Corona del Mar. Two years later, the Pacific Coast Highway was built through the city, bringing more tourists and residents into the area. In 1936, the city dedicated Newport Harbor. The harbor became a vital hub for warships during World War II, and Newport Beach flourished with the influx of military personnel. Newport Beach residents still identify closely with their respective villages. Popular neighborhoods include Corona del Mar; West Newport; and Harbor, Lido and Balboa islands.
