La Habra Virtual Office, Call
The first La Habra Post Office was established in eighteen ninety-eight in a corner of Coy's Store at Central (now La Habra Boulevard) and Euclid Street. The City was incorporated under general law on January twentieth, nineteen twenty-five with a population of three thousand. The Police Force was organized in nineteen twenty-six and employed a Chief, Traffic Officer and Patrolman. By nineteen twenty-eight, the City bore the distinction of being the largest avocado center in Southern California. In nineteen thirties the first Fire Department building was constructed followed by the original City Hall in nineteen thirty-five. By nineteen fifty the population reached nearly five thousand. The Civic Center took shape when the existing County Library was dedicated in nineteen sixty-six, followed by the present Administration Building in nineteen sixty-nine. For over seventy years La Habra was home to the Hass Avocado Mother Tree, an accidental seedling planted by Rudolph Hass in the nineteen twenties. The fruit from this tree has since become one of the most popular avocado cultivars worldwide. The Hass Mother Tree succumbed to root rot in two thousand two. La Habra is a city located in the northwestern corner of Orange County, California, United States. As of the two thousand census, the city had a total population of fifty-eight thousand, nine hundred seventy-four. Its related city, La Habra Heights is located to the north of La Habra, and is in Los Angeles County. In the ranchos days when vast herds of Mexican cattle and horses grazed over the hills and valleys of Southern California, Don Mariano Reyes Roldan was granted six thousand, six hundred ninety-eight acres and named his land Rancho Cañada de La Habra. The year was nineteen thirty-nine, and the name referred to the “Pass Through the Hills,” the natural pass to the north first discovered by Spanish explorers in seventeen sixty-nine. In the eighteen sixties Abel Stearns purchased Rancho de La Habra. Soon thereafter, heavy flooding followed by a severe drought brought bankruptcy to many cattle ranchers.
