Yorba Linda is a suburban city in northeastern Orange County, California, United States, approximately Template:Convert southeast of downtown Los Angeles. It is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and had a population of 68,336 at the 2020 census.

Yorba Linda is known for its connection to Richard Nixon, the 37th president of the United States. His birthplace is a National Historic Landmark, and his presidential library and museum are also located in the city.

History

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

The name Yorba Linda is made up of two parts: Yorba, after Don Bernardo Yorba, a Californio ranchero who historically owned the area, and linda, Spanish for beautiful. The name was created in 1908 by the Janss Investment Company.<ref name="ReferenceA"/><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Indigenous

[edit]

The area is the home of the Tongva, Luiseño, and Juaneño tribal nations, who were there "as early as 4,000 years ago."<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Tongva defined their world as Tovaangar, a nation which "extended from Palos Verdes to San Bernardino, from Saddleback Mountain to the San Fernando Valley" and included the entire territory of present-day Yorba Linda. Spanish colonization between 1769 and 1840 brought "disease, invasive species, and livestock" into the area, which "upended the ecological balance of the region and forced the Tongva to resettle around three missions."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The village of Hutuknga was located in the area of Yorba Linda.<ref name=":1">Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Early years

[edit]

In 1810, the Spanish crown granted José Antonio Yorba 63,414 acres of land, which "spread across much of modern-day Orange County." In 1834, following Mexico's independence from Spain, Yorba's most successful son, Bernardo Yorba (after whom the city would later be named), was granted the Template:Convert Rancho Cañón de Santa Ana by Mexican governor José Figueroa. Most of this original land was retained after the Mexican–American War in 1848 by descendants of the Yorba family. A portion of the city's land is still owned and developed by descendants of Samuel Kraemer, who acquired it through his marriage to Angelina Yorba, the great-granddaughter of Bernardo Yorba. The site of the Bernardo Yorba Hacienda, referred to as the Don Bernardo Yorba Ranch House Site, is listed as a California Historical Landmark.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Near that same site sits the second oldest private cemetery in the county, the historic Yorba Cemetery.<ref name="ocparks.com">Template:Cite web</ref> The land was given to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles by Bernardo Yorba<ref name="ocparks.com" /> in 1858<ref name="timeline">Template:Cite web</ref> since Orange County was not established out of Los Angeles County as a separate county until 1889.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The cemetery closed in 1939 and was subsequently vandalized; however, in the 1960s, the Orange County Board of Supervisors took possession of the property to repair the damage, and tours are now available one day per month.<ref name="ocparks.com" />

Agricultural era

The birthplace of Richard Nixon

A section of the land was sold in 1907 by the Yorba family to Fullerton businessman Jacob Stern, who used the land for barley fields and sheep grazing. Stern subsequently sold the tract to the Janss Investment Company, which first called the area Yorba Linda,<ref name="ReferenceA">Template:Cite web</ref> and proceeded to subdivide the land and sell it for agriculture and manufacturing. In 1910, the agricultural aspect of that endeavor materialized, and the first of many lemon and orange groves were planted: at the time, the population was still less than 50.<ref name="timeline" /> A year later, The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company began serving Yorba Linda, and the first school was constructed.<ref name="timeline" />

In 1912, several things happened in Yorba Linda: it received its first post office; the Yorba Linda Citrus Association was founded; the Southern California Edison Company began providing electricity; and the first church was constructed.<ref name="timeline" /> The area that would later become downtown was also connected to Los Angeles by the Pacific Electric Railway in 1912, primarily for citrus transport.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

In 1913, Richard Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, the chamber of commerce was set up, a library opened as part of the school, and avocado trees were first planted.<ref name="timeline" /> A year later, a separate district was established for the library system.<ref name="timeline" />

In 1915, the Susanna Bixby Bryant Ranch house was constructed.<ref name="timeline" /> It is a museum that is open to the public.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 1917, the first street was paved, Yorba Linda Boulevard.<ref name="timeline" /> The Yorba Linda Star began publication also.<ref name="ylstar">Template:Cite web</ref> It has since become an online section of the OC Register.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> A printed version of the Star is available at various city buildings free of charge and is delivered to every household in Yorba Linda each Thursday. Past articles are on microfilm at the Yorba Linda Public Library.<ref name="ylstar" />

The population exceeded 300 for the first time prior to 1920.<ref name="timeline" /> In 1929, the citrus association's packing house burned down, as it was made of wood.<ref name="timeline" /> It reopened the next year.<ref name="timeline" /> During this period, the eastern two-thirds of Yorba Linda (east of the Yorba Linda Country Club) remained part of cattle and agricultural ranches controlled by pioneer families such as the Yorba, de los Reyes, Kraemer, Travis, Dominguez, Friend, and Bryant ranches.

From 1943 to 1958, "approximately seventy thousand braceros were transported to Orange County," used by employers to service citrus crops. Braceros lived in temporary housing projects referred to as "camps," which were policed by local deputies throughout the county.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The townspeople of Yorba Linda "refused to allow the housing of braceros in their city, forcing the nearby town of Placentia to board them within the segregated Mexican colonia."<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Population growth

[edit]

This housing development in 1966 was the result of a population increase in the 1960s, from 1,198 people in 1960 to 11,856 in 1970.

The small town had grown significantly by the 1960s, with more than 1,000 residents by the 1960 census. Three annexation attempts were made by adjoining cities: Brea in 1958 and Anaheim and Placentia in 1963.<ref name="timeline" /> These experiences culminated in incorporation, which occurred in 1967.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

The new city implemented a municipal general plan in 1972.<ref name="timeline" /> By the 1980 census, the population was nearing 30,000.<ref name="timeline" /> Within ten years it exceeded 50,000.<ref name="timeline" />

In 1990, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum opened as a privately owned, public museum and research library with ceremonies that included a joint appearance by Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The campus included the Birthplace of Richard Nixon.<ref name="timeline" /> The facility would later join the presidential library system.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 1994, the community center opened.<ref name="timeline" />

With over 20,000 housing units in the city as of 2016,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> many residents now oppose further urban development and have organized to reduce traffic congestion.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Yorba Linda Preservation Foundation seeks to protect historical buildings in the city.

Post 2008

[edit]

In November 2008, eastern Yorba Linda suffered from fires that destroyed 113 homes and damaged 50 others. The destruction was due largely to erratic winds causing embers to fly up to half a mile away.

On February 3, 2019, at approximately 1:45 pm, a twin engine 1981 Cessna (N414RS) on route from Fullerton Municipal Airport to Nevada crashed from roughly 7,500 ft into a single family residence in the 19700 block of Crestknoll Drive near Glenknoll Elementary School. The pilot (75-year-old Antonio Pastini) and four individuals in the residence were killed.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In October of the heightened 2020 California wildfires, fires destroyed one home and damaged ten others in the Yorba Linda area. Initially a brush fire, the Blue Ridge Fire quickly spread to 13,964 acres before being doused on November 11, 2020.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Savi Ranch

[edit]

Savi Ranch is an acronym of Santa Ana Valley Irrigation, an early water company.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Savi Ranch today contains retailers, auto dealers, restaurants, hotels, and office buildings.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Originally, the city pursued construction of an auto mall on the entire Savi Ranch site.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The original plan was rejected by residents in favor of a combination of retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and office buildings

As a significant source of sales tax revenue to Yorba Linda and as one of the first anchor tenants (along with Best Buy),<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Home Depot became a political talking point in its own right,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> due to the geography that divides Savi Ranch into two sections, the larger east side falling within Yorba Linda's city limits, and the west side where Home Depot is situated falling within the adjacent city of Anaheim boundaries.

Also located in the Yorba Linda side of Savi Ranch is the headquarters of John Force Racing, housing operations & hosting displays of legendary 16-time NHRA Funny Car Champion John Force, his team of drivers, and their cars.
