Early Placentia History: Near the turn of the century the area was ripe for agriculture. Early pioneers convinced the Santa Fe Railroad to re-route the tracks through the area. The area became well known for oranges, avocados to name a few. Packing houses were built and that was the beginning of placing Placentia 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 and the award winning Placentia-Linda School District.
