Yorba Linda

Situated in the northeastern reaches of Orange County, the city of Yorba Linda is primarily a residential community with the distinction of being one of the wealthiest cities in the country. Formerly known as Rancho Cañón de Santa Ana, the city got its present name when Janss Investment Company bought the land from Jacob Stern. It was renamed to honor the land’s original owner, Bernardo Yorba. Approximately 68,000 residents call beautiful Yorba Linda their home, with its pleasantly warm climate, equestrian trails, and charming gardens.

You’ll find the cities of Anaheim, Brea, Corona, and Placentia around Yorba Linda’s boundaries. The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District presides over the city’s public schools, which include seven elementary schools, three middle schools, and a high school.
