The Aviation name comes from a local major street - Aviation Boulevard - which in turn refers to what is today Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Back in the day when they were naming streets what is today LAX was then a modest sized aerodrome called Mines Field. A number of roads in the area have names associated with aeroplanes & flying.

On this street map of the city of Manhattan Beach Aviation Boulevard can be seen forming the city's eastern boundary. Just a handful of km's to the NE is located Mines Field, er, I mean LAX. :wink:
