About Yorba Linda
Yorba Linda, known as the “Land of Gracious Living” is a city with a strong sense of community and small-town character. The “Yorba Linda” name originated from Jose Yorba, a member of a Spanish expedition. In 1907, portions of the former Yorba lands were sold to the Janss Corporation, who then subdivided the property and named the new town “Yorba Linda” (“Yorba” after the early land grant family and “Linda” meaning pretty in Spanish).
