Brief History
Placentia - Latin for "a pleasant place" - has retained the small town image that has remained since settlers arrived more than 100 years ago. After it was incorporated in 1926, Placentia was known as the "baby city," - the smallest in Orange County . Despite its diminutive size, Placentia is where the county's lifeblood and namesake - the orange - first took hold. Although Orange founder Alfred B. Chapman imported the first orange trees, it was on Placentia soil that the first commercial grove was planted in 1880. (Previous information from Orange County.net))
