Brea, City in Orange County, California.

The municipality spans across northern Orange County, positioned 33 miles southeast of Los Angeles within the broader metropolitan region at 110 meters elevation.

The area transformed from Tongva indigenous settlements to Spanish expedition routes in 1769, later developing through oil production after Union Oil Company established operations.

Since 1975, the city maintains an extensive public art collection featuring 140 pieces displayed throughout streets, parks, and municipal buildings.

The Brea Mall serves as a central shopping destination, while the downtown area contains numerous restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail establishments.

The name Brea originates from the Spanish word for tar, reflecting the natural asphalt deposits that sparked the initial development of this region.
