La Habra is a city in Orange County, California, in the most northwestern section of the county. The name “La Habra” means “pass through the hills” in Spanish and was given to the city as it is located between the northern Puente Hills and the southern Coyote Hills. American, English, and Swiss settlers began arriving in the area in the 1890s, but explorers had passed through the area as early as 1769. The city of La Habra was incorporated in 1925 and was named an “All-American City” in 1975 for its social programs and community improvement efforts. It should not be confused with La Habra Heights, a related city in Los Angeles County (north of La Habra).
