| The name Yorba dates as far back as 1769 when Jose Yorba was part of a Spanish expedition exploring the area now known as Orange County. In 1809, Jose Yorba petitioned the King of Spain for a land grant and was awarded 62,000 acres which came to be known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. Linda means beautiful in Spanish.
Yorba Linda boasts avocado and citrus production, as well as picturesque ranch properties. This quaint community retains a rural atmosphere in the midst of rapid expansion. Downtown Yorba Linda ? Main Street ? offers quaint antique shops, restaurants, a farmers market and a library. The city is extremely supportive of its horse trail system. There is an equestrian center and direct access to Chino Hills State Park, which provides hundreds of miles of horse trails. Plans for new home developments are in the works in the northwest part of Yorba Linda, with 2,100 homes and a public golf course. Click here to see hot area properties near Yorba Linda...
