Placentia, California. Placentia's colorful history began in 1837 when the Mexican Governor granted the Rancho San Juan Cajon De Santa Ana to Juan Ontiveros. This land grant included the area which today comprises Placentia, Anaheim, Fullerton, La Habra, and Yorba Linda. In 1876, at the suggestion of Sarah Ann McFadden, the area was named "Placentia", derived from a Spanish word meaning "pleasant place to live".

The climate and rich land attracted an ever-growing number of new residents. Five hundred citizens voted to incorporate in 1926. The area was well suited to the raising of citrus, walnuts, avocados, and grapes. Placentia became the center of Valencia Placentia growing and packing.

In 1960, Placentia's population had reached only 5000. Today, Placentia is still a community of 45,000 residents and growing, with beautiful suburban homes, good schools, stately churches, and wholesome recreation.
