Yorba Hacienda, Mexican era adobe hacienda in Yorba Linda, California.
Description
Yorba Hacienda was a large adobe building arranged in a U-shaped layout with its southern wall stretching over 100 feet (30 meters) long. The structure contained more than 200 rooms and demonstrated the substantial scale of this Mexican-era residence.
History
Bernardo Yorba built this residence between 1835 and 1845 on his land grant during Mexican control of California. The structure stood for nearly a century before its demolition in 1926.
Culture
The hacienda served as a hub where residents crafted food, textiles, and household goods using methods rooted in Mexican ranching traditions. Visitors can understand how daily life revolved around self-sufficient production and community work.
