| Prior to the ] of Anaheim Hills, the region was owned by Jose Antonio Yorba and his nephew Juan Pablo Peralta. They worked the 210,000 acre Anaheim Hills and ] site in the early 1800s, which was used as a livestock ranch. It would change hands several times before it was sold to Louis Nohl in 1943 by the Bixby family. | |||
| Meanwhile in the nearby city of Anaheim, a housing boom was associated with the building of ] in 1955 and other developments of that era. Anaheim began to expand its borders to encompass more land and the only direction was east, towards the location of the large Nohl Family farm. | |||
| In 1970, Nohl sold the land to the City of ] in order to create the community of Anaheim Hills. In October of 1971, Texaco Industries introduced an award winning plan, which they called a "master planned community." A premium golf course, nature trails, large homes, natural settings, and ranches were added to the Texaco Development plan in order to add to the appeal of the community for potential home buyers in the early 1970s, as they were amenities uncommon to many other Southern California communities at the time. Advertisements during this period were consistent in marketing the community as "The New Land." | |||
| The first community to premiere was Westridge which showcased 325 homes in 1972. The homes sold within two years of its premiere, creating an interest in the Anaheim Hills region. By the 1980s, Anaheim Hills had grown to 15,000 residents. There is a police substation and community center along Santa Ana Canyon Road. | |||

| During the winter of 2005, a massive twenty day rain event in Orange County lead to not only flooding, but a landslide that caused the unstable hillside along the street of Ramsgate Drive to give way.<ref>http://www.agiweb.org/geotimes/apr05/NN_CAlandslides.html</ref><ref>http://www.ocregister.com/ocr/2005/02/06/sections/local/local/article_400632.php</ref> Two and a half multi-million dollar homes slid down the hillside, and the private street below was destroyed.

| === The Sierra Peak wildfire === | |||
