Yorba Linda has a rich legacy of history and was home to many famous individuals. It is the birthplace of our 37th President, Richard Milhouse Nixon, and the childhood home of author Jessamyn West, who penned the book The Friendly Persuasion, which later became a Hollywood movie. The famous orange and lemon groves of Orange County spawned a booming local packing house business and the avocado industry had its start in Yorba Linda in 1913.
