Hacienda Heights (pronunciationⓘ) is an unincorporated suburban community in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As of the 2020 census, the community had a total population of 54,191,[3] up from 54,038 at the 2010 census. For statistical purposes, the Census Bureau has defined Hacienda Heights as a census designated place (CDP). It is the third largest CDP in Los Angeles County by area, behind Topanga and Rowland Heights, and the county's fourth largest CDP by population.[4]

## History

[edit]

Hacienda Heights sits on land that was originally part of Rancho La Puente. During Spanish rule, the land around Hacienda Heights was operated by the nearby Mission San Gabriel Arcángel in San Gabriel.[5] The Rancho was eventually acquired by John A. Rowland and William Workman in 1845 via a Mexican land grant, and eventually acquired by Elias "Lucky" Baldwin in the mid-1870s.[6] In 1912, his descendant, Anita Baldwin, sold the property to Edwin Hart and Jet Torrance.[6] In 1913 the pair subdivided the area and named it North Whittier Heights, which became known for avocado, citrus and walnut orchards.[7] However, from the Great Depression era to the early 1940s, citrus growing became unprofitable because of pests and diseases, setting the impetus for the area's transformation into a suburb.[8]

Accelerating in the 1950s, suburban residential development[8] transformed Hacienda Heights into a residential or bedroom community.[9] In 1960, the Hacienda Heights Branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library opened.[8] The following year, in 1961, the area was renamed Hacienda Heights.[6] In 1964, the local newspaper, the Hacienda Heights Highlander, was established.[8]

The hills surrounding Hacienda Heights have a history of brush fires, especially in 1978, 1989, and 2020.[10][11][12]

## Geography

[edit]

Hacienda Heights is in the eastern San Gabriel Valley bordering City of Industry to the North, Whittier to the West, La Habra Heights to the South, and Rowland Heights to the East along the Pomona Freeway - Route 60. Hacienda Heights is a predominantly residential neighborhood.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the community has a total area of 11.2 square miles (29 km2), of which only 0.06% is water.

Hacienda Heights also has the Puente Hills forming its 'green belt' southern border and much of its western border. The highest point is Workman Hill at 1,391 feet (424 m). Coyotes are common concern among residents.[13]

## Landmarks

[edit]

West of Hacienda Heights is the former Puente Hills Landfill, which was at one time the largest landfill in the U.S. until its closure in 2013. It is now used as a gas-to-energy facility, as well as part of the Puente Hills Habitat Authority.[18]

The "Puente Hills Landfill Native Habitat Preservation Authority" supports public enjoyment and access of the nearby parkland in the Puente Hills.[19] Some of the hiking trails they offer are Hacienda Hills, Sycamore Canyon, Turnbull Canyon and Hellman Park.[20]

### Hsi Lai Temple

[edit]

Hsi Lai Temple (meaning "Coming West"), a branch of Fo Guang Shan of Taiwan, is the largest Buddhist temple in North America.[21] The temple was completed in 1988 and encompasses 15 acres (61,000 m2) and a floor area of 102,432 sq ft (9,516 m2). The temple's Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and Qing dynasty (1644–1911) architecture is faithful to the traditional style of buildings, Chinese gardens, and statuary of ancient Chinese monasteries. Hsi Lai was built to serve as a spiritual and cultural center for Buddhism and Chinese culture.[22]

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services operates the Pomona Health Center in Pomona, serving Hacienda Heights.[25]

#### Cityhood

[edit]

In 2003, voters were asked to decide whether the community should incorporate and become a city. Proponents argued that a new city would be able to better control development and provide increased police and fire service, while opponents argued that the new city would increase taxes and redevelop residential neighborhoods for revenue-generating businesses. Most of the prime commercial land had already been annexed by the City of Industry to escape taxes levied by the County on unincorporated areas. Ultimately the measure failed by about a 2-1 margin.
