Port Hueneme ( ) is a small beach city in Ventura County, California surrounded by the city of Oxnard and the Santa Barbara Channel.〔Greenland, Powell. "Port Hueneme." (1994, Ventura County Maritime Museum). ISBN 0870951114.〕 The name derives from the Spanish spelling of the Chumash ''wene me'', meaning "Resting Place". Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo explored this area and the adjacent Channel Islands in October 1542. The town's name was officially changed to Port Hueneme in 1939 and was incorporated March 24, 1948. Thomas Bard learned of the submarine canyon at Point Hueneme and took advantage of the canyon depth to construct the Hueneme Wharf in 1871 here.〔 The existing street grid of the town was formally laid out in 1888.〔("Plat of Lots in Town of Hueneme" ) 3 MR 13. ''Ventura County Recorder'' Retrieved September 8, 2014 from (CountyView GIS ).〕 Until the construction of the Montalvo Cutoff that brought the railroad to nearby Oxnard, the wharf was the principal means of transportation for that portion of Ventura County lying south of the Santa Clara River. Hueneme was the second largest grain shipping port on the Pacific coast between 1871 and 1895. Both the Port of Hueneme and Naval Base Ventura County lie within city limits. Port Hueneme has a south-facing sand beach, known for its surfing. The beach has a wooden fishing pier and is about a mile long between Ormond Beach downcoast and Point Hueneme Light at the harbor entrance shared by the naval base and the port. The Waterfront Promenade, also known as the Lighthouse Promenade, provides a paved public access along the shoreline with two historic sites at view points: the 1872 Wharf and the Oxnard Packing House.〔Klampe, Michelle L. (March 21, 2008) ("Waterfront Promenade officially opens today" ) ''Ventura County Star''〕〔Cultural Heritage Board. ("Ventura County Landmark Map" ) ''County of Ventura Planning Division'' Accessed 5 April 2014〕 There are also picnic tables and barbecue grills. ==Demographics==
