The area is the home of the Tongva, Luiseño, and Juaneño tribal nations, who were there 'as early as 4,000 years ago.' The Tongva defined their world as Tovaangar, a nation which 'extended from Palos Verdes to San Bernardino, from Saddleback Mountain to the San Fernando Valley' and included the entire territory of present-day Yorba Linda. The name was created 1908 by the Janss Investment Company. The name Yorba Linda is made up of two parts: Yorba, after Don Bernardo Yorba, a Californio ranchero who historically owned the area, and Linda, Spanish for beautiful. His birthplace is a National Historic Landmark, and his presidential library and museum are also located in the city. Yorba Linda is known for its connection to Richard Nixon, the 37th president of the United States.

It is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and had a population of 68,336 at the 2020 census. Yorba Linda is a suburban city in northeastern Orange County, California, United States, approximately 37 miles (60 km) southeast of Downtown Los Angeles.
