Looking for a pleasant place to live?  Welcome to Placentia, California which means just that in the Spanish language. 

With a mild climate and a history that dates back to 1837, Placentia makes a great area to live.

What started out as land granted by the Mexican government, Placentia grew into a thriving city and is home to 45,000 residents today.  

It was in Placentia that the first commercial Placentia orange grove was planted in 1880, eventually contributing to Orange County’s name.

Oil also played a part in Placentia’s history.  When oil was discovered on several of the residents land in 1919, it resulted in a population boom.

Today, much of Placentia’s agricultural land has given way to buildings and residents and many of the locals travel to near-by cities for work.

Placentia hosts several annual events including a very festive 4^th of July with community softball, children’s events and fire works at the Bradford Stadium, a free five-week summer concert series in Tri-City Park, and the Heritage Festival and Parade which dates back to 1965 and celebrates the city’s heritage.
