Yorba Linda ("Beautiful Yorba", in English) is a suburban city in Orange County, California, approximately 37 miles (60 km) southeast of Downtown Los Angeles. The city's most notable resident was Richard Nixon. A National Historic Landmark where he was born, is within the city along with the presidential library and museum in his honor. It is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area according to the US Census. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 64,234.

History[edit]

Pre-colonization[edit]

This area was the home of the Luiseño, Tongva, and Juaneño Indians at one time.^{[citation needed]}

Early years[edit]

In 1834, Jose Antonio Yorba's most successful son, Bernardo Yorba (after whom the city would later be named), was granted the 13,328-acre (53.94 km²) 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.^[7]

Near that same site sits the second oldest private cemetery in the county, the historic Yorba Cemetery.^[8] The land was given to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles by Bernardo Yorba^[8] in 1858^[9] since Orange County was not established out of Los Angeles County as a separate county until 1889.^[10] 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.^[8]

Agricultural era[edit]

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,^[11] 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.^[9] A year later, The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company began serving Yorba Linda, and the first school was constructed.^[9]

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.^[9] The area that would later become downtown was also connected to Los Angeles by the Pacific Electric Railway in 1912, primarily for citrus transport.^[11]

The Birthplace of Richard Nixon

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.^[9] A year later, a separate district was established for the library system.^[9]

In 1915, the Susanna Bixby Bryant Ranch house was constructed.^[9] It is a museum that is open to the public.^[12]

In 1917, the first street was paved, Yorba Linda Boulevard.^[9] The Yorba Linda Star began publication also.^[13] It has since become an online section of the OC Register.^[14] 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.^[13]

The population exceeded 300 for the first time prior to 1920.^[9] In 1929, the citrus association's packing house burned down, as it was made of wood.^[9] It reopened the next year.^[9] 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.

Population growth[edit]

The Sunkist citrus packing house (later a 24 Hour Fitness gym) located on Yorba Linda Blvd in 1961. Soon after this photo was taken, Yorba Linda would transform from a rural community to a suburban one.

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.^[9] These experiences culminated in incorporation, which occurred in 1967.^[11]

This housing development shown near Esperanza Rd and Fairlynn Blvd. in 1966 shows how Yorba Linda dramatically grew in the 1960s. The city's population increased from 1,198 people in 1960 to 11,856 just a decade later.

The new city implemented a municipal general plan in 1972.^[9] By the 1980 Census, the population was nearing 30,000.^[9] Within ten years it exceeded 50,000.^[9]

In 1990, the Birthplace of Richard Nixon opened as a public library and museum.^[9] It would later become a federal presidential library.^[15] In 1994, the community center opened.^[9]

With over 20,000 housing units in the city as of 2016,^[16] many residents now oppose further urban development and have organized to reduce traffic congestion.^[17] The Yorba Linda Preservation Foundation seeks to protect historical buildings in the city.

Recent times[edit]

In 2005, CNN ranked Yorba Linda 21st among the best places in the U.S. to live.^[18] In 2012, Yorba Linda was ranked 42nd on Money magazine's list of America's best small cities.^[19] Similarly, in an article by CNN Money, Yorba Linda was one of the richest U.S. cities and the richest in Orange County as reported by the Census data, showing a median household income of more than $120K: "Among towns of between 65,000 and 250,000 in population, Yorba Linda, California, where six-figure incomes are the rule, had the highest median income at $121,075".^[20][21] Yorba Linda has been identified as one of the richest cities in the U.S. by the U.S. Census Bureau, which shows a median household income of $121,075, higher than any other city in 2006.^[20][22][21]

In 2007, Yorba Linda High School broke ground after many years of planning.^[9]

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.

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 20.0 square miles (52 km²). 19.5 square miles (51 km²) of which is land and 0.5 square miles (1.3 km²) (2.67%), water.

A third, 92885, also exists, exclusively for PO Boxes.^[23] The city is served by area codes 657 and 714 in a geographical overlay situation, in which 714 numbers were running out, so that 657 numbers are now also being issued in the same area. Eleven-digit dialing is therefore now required for local calls.

It is bordered by Anaheim on the south, Placentia on the west and southwest, Brea on the northwest, Chino Hills State Park on the north, and Corona on the east.

Savi Ranch[edit]

Savi Ranch is an acronym of Santa Ana Valley Irrigation, an early water company.^[44]
Savi Ranch today contains retailers, auto dealers, restaurants, hotels, and office buildings.^[45]

Originally, the city pursued construction of an auto mall on the entire Savi Ranch site.^[46] The original plan was rejected by residents in favor of a combination of retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and office buildings. As of 2018, one of the three original car lots has been converted into state-mandated low-income housing, one is vacant, and the sole remaining car dealer, specializing in high-end, exotic, & specialty used cars, is notably thriving.

As a significant source of sales tax revenue to Yorba Linda and as one of the first anchor tenants (along with Best Buy),^[47]The Home Depot became a political talking point in its own right, ^[48] 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. At the inception of Savi Ranch, the Home Depot was located in Savi Ranch East. In the early 2000s, however, the Super Kmart location in Savi Ranch West ceased operations and The Home Depot moved into the location it previously occupied, taking the sales tax revenue with it to Anaheim.^{[citation needed]}

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. An on-site museum is dedicated to Force's career.

Politics[edit]

56.7% of Yorba Linda's registered voters are Republicans, while 21.7% are Democrats. 3.77% of voters are registered with a third party, while 17.9% declined to state.^[50] The city voted for California Proposition 8 by 65.8% and for Proposition 4 by 59.3%.^[51] Yorba Linda was one of just three California cities to pass a measure in their city council proclaiming its support for the Arizona immigration law, SB1070.^[52]

Government[edit]

Municipal government[edit]

The city council consists of five members that are elected by residents to four-year terms, with a three-term limit.^[53] The council elects its own mayor at the end of every year, whose duties are largely ceremonial because the city employs a council-manager form of government and the city manager runs day-to-day operations.^[54]

As of 2017, the council consists of:^[55]

• Gene Hernandez, Mayor


• Tara Campbell, Mayor Pro Tem


• Beth Haney, Council Member


• Peggy Huang, Council Member

Standard design of street name signs in the city

Yorba Linda has four commissions, which meet monthly or bimonthly, to advise the city council about their respective projects.^[56]

The library commission operates the Yorba Linda Public Library, which has existed in some form since 1913, and is composed of five residents whose duties include selecting new materials for the library to acquire and establishing guidelines and regulations, among other things.^[57]

The planning commission is in charge of matters pertaining to land use, zoning, annexation, right-of-ways, and construction of new buildings, among other things; however, its five members are appointed by the council.^[58]

The traffic commission seeks to address issues of safety, flow, public complaints, parking, and others.^[59] Members serve terms of two years.^[59]

Law enforcement[edit]

Law enforcement is currently contracted out to the Orange County Sheriff's Department (California).^[63] OCSD maintains a sub-station at Arroyo Park, where Lieutenant Jarrett Kurimay is Chief of Police Services.^[64]

From 1971 to 2013, police services were provided by the Brea Police Department. Beginning in 1971, this marked the first time in the state's history that a municipality, as opposed to a county sheriff's department, provided police services to another municipality.^[65] Prior to this setup, but after the city's incorporation in 1967, Yorba Linda did contract with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, which was and still is typical for municipalities that are not large enough or simply choose not to maintain an in-house police department.

In 2012, the Yorba Linda City Council met with citizens and police chiefs from the Anaheim and Brea police departments, along with Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, to vote on a new public safety contract. The meeting lasted 9 hours, finally ending at 3:00am on Wednesday April 25. The verdict, Yorba Linda would end its end the contract with the Brea Police Department after 42 years of service by the Brea Police Department. The city signed a 5-year contract with the Orange County Sheriff's Department becoming effective May, 2013.

Infrastructure[edit]

Fire services are provided by the Orange County Fire Authority.

The Yorba Linda Water District, headquartered in Placentia, serves nearly all residents.^[66][67] Golden State Water, which also has a field office in Placentia, serves the remainder.^[67][68]

The city contracts out waste collection to Yorba Linda Disposal.^[67][69]

Natural gas is provided by Southern California Gas Company, and electricity is provided by Southern California Edison.^[67]

Yorba Linda has a history of equestrianism with 30 horse trails totaling over 100 miles.^[70][71] As of August 2013, there are plans to construct public stables.^[72]

Education[edit]

Yorba Linda is part of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District, which enrolled approximately 25,000 students as of the 2015-2016 school year.^[73] A small portion of Yorba Linda, however, is directed to the Orange Unified School District.

Sign and building as seen from the entrance

St. Francis of Assisi School serves as the only Catholic school in the city. Many parents seeking a private school education for their children send their PS-8th graders to Heritage Oak Private School and high schoolers to nearby Lutheran High School of Orange County in the city of Orange, Servite High School (boys), Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child (Anaheim, California) (girls) or Rosary High School (girls) in Anaheim, Mater Dei High School (co-ed) in Santa Ana, or Santa Margarita Catholic High School (co-ed) in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Yorba Linda High School opened its doors in 2009. The first full graduating class from YLHS was the class of 2012. As of 2015, one private high school, Friends Christian High School, is currently under construction.^[74] Historically, a majority of Yorba Linda students also attend Esperanza^[75] in Anaheim, Troy High School in nearby Fullerton, or Valencia and El Dorado^[76] in Placentia.

A new library and performing arts center will open three blocks from the current library in early- to mid-2020.^[79]
