History
La Habra Heights is located on the 1839 Rancho La Habra Mexican land grant made to Mariano Reyes Roldan. Roldan sold the rancho to Andres Pico, who sold it to Abel Stearns. In 1900, Willits J. Hole acquired 3,500 acres (14.2 km2), which he sold in 1919 to Edwin G. Hart, who developed La Habra Heights.
