Early Placentia History:At the turn of the century the area was ripe for agriculture. In the early 20´s one of the early pioneers convinced the Santa Fe Railroad to re-route the tracks through the area. The area became known for oranges, avocados to name a few. Packing houses were built and that was the beginning of putting this community on the map. Years later the growth was minimal, to some Placentia was considered to be in the country. The City incorporated in the 1920´s. Today the city is a great place to live with quiet residential streets.
