History

In 1839, Don Mariano Reyes Roldan received 6698 acres of land and named it Rancho Cañada de La Habra. The name meant " path through the mountains ", referring to the first natural pass, which the Spaniards had discovered there in 1769. In the 1860s Abel Stearns bought the land. Shortly thereafter, broke a great flood, followed by several droughts over La Habra in, which drove many ranchers into bankruptcy.
