Placentia, Residential city in Orange County, United States
The planned community extends across 6.6 square miles of northern Orange County, bordered by Yorba Linda, Brea, Fullerton, and Anaheim.
The area transformed from Rancho San Juan Cajón de Santa Ana in 1837 to an incorporated city in 1926, developing through citrus farming and railroad expansion.
The George Key Ranch Historic Park and Bradford House preserve the agricultural heritage through original Sunkist orange groves and period artifacts.
The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District operates multiple educational facilities, serving as the largest employer within city limits.
In 2020, Placentia established its independent fire department, separating from the Orange County Fire Authority to provide localized emergency services.
