		Phineas Banning (1830-1885) was an American businessman, stagecoach driver, entrepreneur, and general known as 'the Father of the Port of Los Angeles.' His drive and ambition laid the foundations for what would become one of the busiest ports in the world.
		Banning was born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1830, the seventh of eleven children.
